Eight point lead for the Chargers. Two and a half minutes left in the half. as beautiful pass from Bowers to Holmes over two defenders gets a nice right-hand

John again from howell michigan as the refs are deliberating

something could be talking about what they had for lunch earlier or could be talking about basketball we'll never know never know talking to the scorekeeper as they're going to call a personal foul or technical foul on the chargers. Not sure what that's about. Did they say number 13 Maryland Popwell? I believe so. Interesting. We didn't get a chance to see what that was. But.

We have Bruce subbing in for Popwell. Ah, I see it's a double tech. It must have been a little scuffle there or something. A chance for two points, one free point each. That'll cut the differences as McDonald. This is another one. Unfortunate. And she's shooting another.

Makes it. Quetta bounce back there. Scores 39 to 50, Timberwolves over the Chargers. 29.5 seconds left. In the first half, as Vocler subs out. Volker subs out for Avery Parker from Gaylor, Michigan. I'm playing. Started by Bowers.

Welcome back to Radio Free Hillsdale 101.7 FM. I'm Colin And I'm Gabe Coming out of the break here, what do you expect to see from the Chargers here, Gabe? What do they need to do to get a big cut in that 13-point deficit they have? I'm expecting them to slow it down on offense and allow them to get settled on defense. I think the dischargers defense, they need to focus on getting just one stop at a time. Yeah.

That's what's the key for this comeback. Yeah, I mean, you can't let the Timberwolves get hot. On the other note, though, I don't think you can let the Chargers get hot, you know? Not at all. I think you've got to have the charges get hot and stay hot. They're streaky shooting team. I mean, they'll miss some shots here. It'll go a little bit.

When they start hitting, they'll hit. I think getting ourselves into that rhythm could really help us win this game. Look out for some possible double teams. It's added pressure on Wolves player Maddie Volker. She's been great in the corner so far. But I think McDonald's Blaine and the rest of the Chargers, I think they've got it. Absolutely.

Another player for the Timberwolves to watch this half, Maive St. John, absolute baller out there in the first half. I would say there's no answer for her, but, again, she's been streaky. And when the charge is on her, she's just taking good shots, that's all. Yeah, she's got great shots. I think that's something the charges can work on. Limiting those four shots, getting into your shooters, let them shoot open threes.

Good shots are all you can ask for here. Cut this lead. No need to play Superman here. It's 13 points. What is that? Four possessions, five possessions. Yeah. Five possession difference over the entire game here. I mean, we're talking.

A lot of game left. A lot of game left. This game is far from over. And the Chargers, from what I've seen, have been a second-half team. And that's pretty good to know. To see me the deficit right now. But Chargers here on the year shooting 34% from 3. as compared to Northwood's

27.8%, which is notable. I don't think 27.8% as a team is exactly where you want to be. But it looks like so far, they've been shooting really, really well. They have, and it's interesting. Coming from head coach of Northwood, Autumn Hagadone Their team is They haven't abandoned the three

For how their season's gone so far from the arc And again, Northwood That's a 12 and 11 record 9 and 5 in conference As compared to the Chargers 16 and 7 With 13 and 3 in conference So a very big difference here Looking like Northwood as a team

is not doing too hot in the fourth quarter Chargers are the strongest in the fourth quarter looking at these point charts here second half team not so much for the Timberwolves. Chargers bolster that tough third and fourth quarter offense

paired with some tough defense as well. I mean they're plus minus in the third and fourth quarter combined. I'm just doing quick brain mad here. 50 and plus 90 in the second half overall through the season. So hopefully to continue that, I mean, realistically,

what's 13 points for a couple of chargers, right? Exactly. If Northwood's a team that needs to win, the charges are a team who know how to win. Yeah, absolutely. And have been here before, and I think that experience is what's going to pull through. Yeah.

You were saying earlier that Timberwolves did beat the chargers earlier in the season? Yes, yes. They have. So that's notable. It's tough. Some teams are tough to beat in the GMAC here. We know that through football.

There's teams that, you know, you can just have your number. They know what to do against you. Exactly. You play multiple times a year, so, you know? Yeah, it's tough to beat a team twice, let alone. Chess match between coaches. Yeah. As we are starting in the third quarter here in Don Tibbet's Potter Arena.

Ready to kick off this second half. Wolves inbound the ball and St. John up at the perimeter. Passes it to Volker sitting in the corner, guarded by McDonald. Passes it back to St. John. Shoots, misses a three. We're covered by Ellie Bruce.

As Plain takes the ball up the court. Looking around a play. Gives it into Bruce. Almost a turnover. We're covered by Bruce though. As McDonald has a ball. Got it by Holmes.

A little mismatch to me. Donald's book and takes advantage of it. Nice right-hand lay-up there. That's a great job, just slowing the game down on offense and just letting the lanes open up for. Yeah, absolutely. So we got, who is that? Volker. Volkner, yes.

Volkir past St. John, hanging around the three-point line. As Volker with a beautiful cut. Nice right-hand. Yeah. As McDonald. guarded by McNeely, McNeely from Scottsdale, Arizona, who swings it over to Splain. Northwood bench is causing a ruckus where we can hear them all the way up here. As Rulman, top the key swings his plane.

Splain on the wing for three won't go. As Rulman with the tough board goes up with the right, that's going to call Fowl on Leah Holmes. He's a good look by Splain, better rebound by Rulman, and great job picking up. foul. I mean, that's the line. Yeah, so open shots are all you can hope for. And they took an open shot and they got the rebound. Good little put back there. As Rulman, first free throw. We'll go. As Rulman is shooting 62% from the line on the season. Second shot. We'll go. Both free

throws lead down to 11 for the Timbys. as St. John looking to break the press that the charge was put on him. Goes with ease. As they're going to call it a legal screen on Ella Miller. Sophomore from East Lansing, Michigan. As Ella Miller will be subbed out as McDonald gets the inbound from Rulman surveying. Looking to find Bruce in the center, she does. Looks to be their flagship play as Bruce

swings it back to McDonald over to Rulman top of the wing and display in the top of the key Inlet past to Bruce Bruce goes up and she's fouled by Leah Holmes Great job by the Chargers really getting north but back on their heels

two fouls and two possessions Yeah that's just beautiful ball moving there by the Chargers as Bruce You get 45% from the line on the year Misses her first one. Open. Drop this second one.

Keep to her average. She shoots it. Won't go. Rebound McDonald. Nice offensive rebound. We're back to square one. As plain as ball in the wing. Into Bruce.

Bruce puts it up. Won't go. Rebound by who is that. Leah Holmes. Leah Holmes gives us to St. John. Putting work on McCormick. Driving. Under the hoop.

puts up a tough lay on the floor. They're going to call a foul on McCormon. Wolves on the fast break Getting to draw their own foul on the chargers Myiv Shooting St. John. St. John shooting her First one won't go.

Heave to Leah Holmes Blahomes Bats it down out of bounds Charger basketball Not the smartest pass By Northwood No that's something The Chargers need to capitalize

Off of As a quarterback Thrown into Quadruple coverage over there It's not something you want to do, at least regularly. As Alec Venetius is subbing in, check that. We got Petrusik Popwell and Alex Venetius for McCormick, Rulman, and Bruce. That's Petruzik. Nice little pass.

They're going to call it a jump ball, but the arrows pointed to Hillsdale. It'll remain down on our side of the courts. We're going to McDonald passing the ball in. Coach is yelling for the Timberwolves. That's passion right there. As Alvinna's found, gives in to Popwell. Popuel wants to go up with it, and she does. Don't go, but rebound McDonald.

McDonald swings it to Splane. Splane driving right. Oh, my gosh. What a pass. Oh, missed by Popwell. But gets the rebound. Beautiful Inlet pass by Splain to Popwell. Misses her first one, but gets a rebound and puts it back up.

Great determination, getting the ball in the net. She knew that she was going to get yelled at if she. Missed that second one. As it's stolen by McDonald's at the other end, quick steal. As swings at the splain, back to McDonald's swinging around. Driving right uses a screen, fadeaway middy, will go. A poetic. Great job creating her own space on the fadeaway.

And like they needed, the lead is cut down to eight. It was six minutes, 20 seconds left at the second half. Check that third quarter. As McNeely swings it back out top. to Bowers Bowers gives to Holmes Holmes looking to put work on Popwell

Tough way by Leah Holmes as McDonald taking the ball up the other way 10 point lead for the Timberwolves

as poor spacing by the charges leads some confusion but they end up getting the ball down to Popwell who's looking to put work up blocked by Holmes but it'll stay down

by the Chargers etched athletic play by by Leah Holmes on that defensive stand. As Holmes and McNally are subbed out for McKenzie Bell and Vokler. Fun fact, Vokler is his daughter of the assistant coach of the Timber Wolves team. Just found that out. As McDonald takes a little mid-range, won't go. Alex Venetius tries to get the board and won't.

As Bowers taking the ball up, run by McDonald. In the pass to Bell. Doug goes up and gets the tough lay. One thing about Northwood, really efficient. Yeah. Inside the inner line. They try their hardest and they're good at it. Splane driving baseline, kick to Popwell.

Popwell goes up, blocked. Check that foul. Foul on Ella Miller. Great pass by Splane to Miller before the foul. they're gonna be announced she's gonna call that taryn jackson number 32 but from our vantage it looked like 33 so i suppose that follows on terran jackson from lowell michigan as pop-a-well makes their first free throw the ref is talking to coach briannebrennan wonder what was said is pop well second free throw up and home as popal well and who is that Splane, subbed out for Bruce and McCormick as the Chargers are putting a full court press on.

Broken easily. Bowers has the ball guarded by Petrazig. As Taryn Jackson swings it down to Ella Miller. Ella Miller, drop step up with the right over Bruce. We'll go. As McDonald's taking the ball up, call him three. That's a play, I guess. As McCormick in the past, Alex Venetius, Elvon,

working trying to get a shot won't McDonald puts up a shot nice little middy McDonald's quick catch the pass and put it up midrange is her game as the lead is 10 points for the Timberwolves as an almost errant pass by

Chargers down 10, with 415 left in the third period. here. Again, Chargers trying to fight back, but offense Northwood is just fighting them hard.

Yes, and both defenses fouling much more in this second half. It felt like we had four fouls in the first half, and we probably had about six in six minutes. Yeah, I mean, it's just important for these chargers to keep with it. I mean, we're almost in build today.

Little by little. Little by little is all needed. As we have Petrizik, Bruce, Blaine, McDonnell and Rulman on the floor. As Timberwolves are inbounding, under the hoop, gives it to Holmes. Holmes puts on a tough lay. We'll go as McDonald. Fighting the half-court press. Gets by it.

McDonald's swings to Splean. Splean, looking to shoot a three, won't. As there's a battle on the floor, kickball violation on. Was it on Holmes? Yes, 22 Holmes. We'll stay charger basketball. Probably good for the Chargers. That ball looked a little dangerously.

dangerous from going for a turnover a misandled pass oh splain inbound pass for three blocked by st john remains charger basketball as mcdonald will be inbounding 12 point game chargers down as ruleman gets the

inbound for mcdonald and ball goes back to her McDonald's dribbling around finds splain who finds petersick just swinging up around top of the key over the top inbound pass to Bruce, who gets it up and in for a nice lay. Bruce having a great game so far.

The St. John. Chargers back to man-to-man. St. John, guarded by Peter Zick. We're going to put him some work. Swings into Jackson. Jackson into Holmes. Holmes. Out to McNeely. McNally for three, Airball. Rebound St. John, you can call that one a pass,

because that was about as good as a pass could get there. Up and under layup for St. John, as there's a quick inlet pass to Bruce who swings at the Rulman. And Rulman gets in the and one bucket. This team is fired up. Yeah, that might be the starter that the Chargers need. Got a 10-point game 250 left in the third quarter. Rulman shooting 62% again from the line as she shoots.

We'll go. Custle lead to single digits for the Chargers. St. John, getting pressed by Petrazic, finds Vogner as an easy out. As Bowers has a ball in the corner, shoots a three. Knuckleball won't go. As we'll move to the board. That didn't spin it all in the air. Not once.

I'm not saying mine would, though. I'm not sure I'd even have a rim. McDonald's top of the key to Splane. The Petrus is in the corner. Pump fake, driving the last line. Tries go tough. Bruce with an easy shot, won't go. As Holmes gets the rebound.

Maiv St. John pushing the pace. Trying to get working on Rulman. Drop step, right-hand layup. That's tough shot, man. Myiv's hating up right now. As McDowell blows by, blows by Taryn Jackson for an easy left-handed layup. As chargers are keeping the press.

Keep the press and forcing the issue with these wolves' defense. as Petrazing is guarding St. John. St. John, another drop step. No look. Pass to the corner of Vokler. Wait, that was pretty cool. Great pass out from the corner. They got something going on over there right now. Timberwolves are hot right now.

As the Rulman has the ball, the free throw line, drop step tries to go up and under, blocked by Holmes. As there's going to be a mass substitution, Panasic. And Popwell coming for Rulman and Bruce. as the charges are inbounding underneath the hoop run of their typical play loop around trying to get an open three-point shooter

McDonnell driving right mid-range that's her game and it will go lead back down to ten points here a minute 14 left here in the third quarter as passed bad at the way by Popwell McNeely driving baseline won't get it swings it to Fettlebaum in the corner Fellow Mom won't drop it

As there's a rebound by McNeely, as they're going to call a foul on Petruzic. That looks like a jump ball to me. I believe so, too. Interesting call there. That's Annalise Petruzik's third foul on the night. As Amelia Solarski, the freshman from Lehmont, Illinois, is stuffing in? As we're going to go for immediate time out here. Yes, we are.

I'm still calling.

I'm still game. seeing here. 57 seconds left on the third quarter. Chargers down 10. A lot of game left, but what do you need to see here? I need to see, you know, like we said, one defensive stop after another, and I like to press defense on the inbound.

I think that if they could just out gas, I don't know if Northwood could hold this lead for a whole fourth quarter, as long as the chargers continue to force the issue. Yeah, need to keep pressure. need to keep pressure. As the Hillsdale College Pet Band, a little performance here, rally up the ladies. But I think we've been there before. I don't know how much we're listening to the band

when we're in a game. You know, when you're down on the field or on the court, you know, the crowd noise, it doesn't, you can't really hear it. No, it's weird. You're just so locked into the game. It's a different kind of feeling. I think that's the love of the game right there. looking with the injury of Savannah Smith it's looking like charge has been around the small ball lineups Bruce being their only true center here is Papuel

is acting as their center and she's 511 so a little undersized compared to Holmes Holmes managing up a 6 foot but whatever it is from this perspective she looks a little tall on 6 foot she's looking big on that court

long break here Coach is discussing. Not sure about what. Not sure what the occasion is. Ergo, we have the Chargers. On defense here to continue the third quarter. Long break here from the refs. St. John in the ball.

Serving finds me nearly over Swelarski as back to St. John. We're running a play called four. I wonder what this could be here. as st john gives it to mcneely mcneely looking to find somebody seven seconds left on the shot clock as st john finds bowers in the corner bowers for three no good rebound panassic gives you macdonald good defense possession there for the chargers 33 seconds left in the first check that third quarter as spain has the ball gives panassic panassic finds macdonald on an inlet McDonald looking to get a shot up.

Shoots a little fadeaway layup. Beautiful shot by McDonald. Great physical play with the defense hands all around. Lead down to eight points, 12 seconds left in the third quarter. Eight seconds. Trying to get a quick shot up. McNeeley with the ball driving right. In the past of Holmes.

Holmes tough lay, right. No, I'm good. Rebound Popple. That'll be the end of the third quarter. You're listening to Radio Free Hillsville, 1-1.1.7 FM. I'm Colin. And I'm good. We'll see you after the break.

The Dean's List with Janice Dean. A Utah man who rescued his brother in an avalanche makes today's Dean's list. Hunter and Braden Hansen were skiing on a snowy hillside when suddenly an incredible mountain of snow started falling and buried Hunter. He says it took seconds for the snow to fall on top of him like concrete. He couldn't breathe or move. Braden couldn't believe what was happening before his own eyes, but he reacted quickly activating a special avalanche beacon,

which was able to pinpoint his brother's location underneath all of the snow. Miraculously, Hunter's glove poked out of the snow, and he was able to wave in hopes of alerting someone. By the time his brother got to him, Hunter was under two feet of snow. Braden was then able to clear the snow around his brother's head, take off his helmet so that he could breathe. Hunter says he will never forget what his brother did and told him he was on his last breath before being.

being rescued. He feels very blessed to be alive. Janistine, Fox News. This is the Making of America from the Jefferson Media Group. The commander of the Confederate Army, Robert E. Lee, was the son of a revolutionary war hero and husband to the great-granddaughter of George Washington's wife, Martha. He was an outspoken critic of rebellion, but when the war came, he stood beside his heritage as a Virginian and joined the South. General Lee won most of his battles. However, both his incursions into Union territories ended in catastrophic defeats, draining the south of its most valuable resource manpower. His family farm was confiscated by Union forces

and converted into a national cemetery called Arlington. This has been The Making of America. I'm Michael Emerson, and you can visit us at jeffersonmediagroup.com. Welcome back to Radio Free Hillsdale. Out of the break, quick three by Volkler in the corner as Petruzik goes up with the right-hand to layup block but off of Timberwolves. Yeah, real quick, Volkler hit a three down at the other end of the court here, making the lead 73-62 Timberwolves as McDonald inbound into Petruzik is they're going to call foul on McKenzie Bell.

Her second foul on the night. McDonald's serving. Kiss it out to Bruce. Another foul on McKenzie Bell. Can't keep her hands out of the cookie jar as they'll be forced to sub in. Bowers for McKenzie Bell. As McDonald's yet again

bounding. Swings it out to Bruce again. Bruce to McDonald. McDonald put it in work. Swings over to Petrazig. Petrusick to Woolman to Bruce on the basket. Nice left-handed layup by Bruce. Great pass and really great hand-eye coordination on that layup. Tough bucket. As they break the half-court press as McNeely is underneath the hoop, trying to get a shot up and won't. Swings out to St. John. Nine minutes left here in the fourth quarter. Vokler has the ball in the corner looking to put some work swings it over to Holmes almost trying to find cutter won't Holmes tough defense by Bruce very good D by Bruce rebound gives it to her buddy McDonald McDonald driving left hosting up won't find it Bruce driving right right-hand of lay up won't go rebound St. John is here's a foul there on McDonald I thought that was just tough basketball there not not sure what I'm we've seen there.

Interesting as charges are going full court press now. There's Popwell something for Bruce. Volkler swings it to St. John. St. John back to Volkler.

Volkler back to St. John, trying to get past half court and they do. Should be a push-off by St. John. That's interesting, but they're not calling it. St. Poloil back to McDonald. McDonald. Thomas McCormick wants to shoot. Won't.

Well, mid-range shot won't go. Rebound. Number four, Malin McNeely. As St. John taking the ball to court. Charges need to get something going here. Only eight minutes left, down nine. As Bowers looking to drive, swings it out, tipped by McDonald.

McDonald almost stealing it, but McNeely gets, regathers it. McNeely swings to St. John. St. John wants to shoot a deep three. three won't go as there are people that fell but no foul as we got cormick cormic back to McDonald's in the left wing we're going to put some work in on on mcneely inlet pass to popowell popowell drop step drop step on ella miller beautiful shot by maryland popowell great job going up two hands in her face just finishing the bucket

Custalee down to seven points. Mayer St. John driving on the Hillsdale. Oh, a stolen by McDonald. Beautiful defensive play. As Roman trying to get a shot up, Petrusick, Petrusick for three. Won't go. As this can be, oh, Remot of McCormick. As they're going to call, what are they calling here?

Looking like a timeout. Chargers. They wanted a call there. Looks like somebody hit somebody, but not going to get it. Just going to get the time out. You're listening to Radio Free Hillsdale 101.7 FM. Still calling. I'm still good.

We'll see you after the break. Is the car all packed? Yep. Camping gear? Check. Smoors and hot dogs? Check. What about the old camping radio?

Anytime, anywhere. All right then. Let's hit the road. Welcome back to Radio Free Hillsill 101.1.7 FM.

I'm Colin. I'm Gabe. Chargers down seven here. Gabe, what do you think we need to keep doing? I mean, we're doing something right. What's it got to be? They've been getting away from the press coverage. In the full court press, as the Wolf's inbound the ball.

I think they stick with that or as long as they can just maintain a presence down below the basket. Yeah, I agree, I agree. Yeah, seven minutes left, seven points to make back. I mean, a math guy will say a point in a minute gets you a tie. But a charger guy will say two possessions, two or three possessions, gets you back in this game. And I think this is a game that the Chargers can and will win.

Absolutely. Knock out wood As McDonnell has a ball into the hoop Fines Splain in the corner Splain for three Will God

What a shot by Spley cutting the lead to four points Beautiful shot The net didn't even move The spark That was needed for the charges Maybe As vocal has a ball

Top of the wing Ella Miller Gets to the Holmes The paint guard by Popwell Miller can put work in. We're going to call foul on Popowell. Tishu's just pushing with her elbow a bit too much. We're going to see

Ma'Eaf St. John passed the ball in here. St. John to Jackson. Jackson up with the left. Won't go, but they're going to call a foul on Splane. Splains. first foul as the Timberwolves are going to elect to only have one rebounder. As the Simpson, the Simpson fellas screamed while she shot a free throw. She missed. Might be working.

Might be working. Love the Simpson guys. Didn't scream on the second one, and she makes the second one. The Timberwolves up five, six and a half minutes left to go. As McDonnell finds Splane, Slein, Enlopass, a rule. woman trying to find some work finds peatrizik in the corner as they're going to call reach in on st john

almost a beautiful pick pick pocket there but couldn't get it see they can find splain on an inbound McDonald finds petra zick in the corner trying to swing the ball into bruce she does bruce up with the right little floater won't go rebound almost by st john but she just passed it away herself

Remains charges ball. Charger ball still. Five points. That's all you need. Just find Petra's like under the basket. Under the, ooh, up and under way up by Petra's like no good, but rebound by McDonald. As Blaine,

Step Back 3, screen set by McDonald. What they're going to call an illegal screen on McDonald. Interesting. as Maiv St. John has the ball. Guarded by Petra's like they cut the press. Wonder if that's just to preserve themselves or because they're within five points. As Jackson, triple drop step, won't get the board as they're going to keep this with the timber wolves. As long as the charges keep the ball out of Volker's hands, they've got a much better shot on defense.

I bet they talked about that at halftime because she has a lot. got in the ball much this half. She's had one shot. Other than that, it's been well. As St. John has the ball on the wing, as they're going to call in a legal screen on Volkler. Unhappy with the call as the Chargers'

sideline erupts. That is interesting there. That could be huge for the Chargers. Five-point game. They can get this down to a one-possession game here to any bucket. As Roman has the ball. in the paint down to Bruce Bruce up with the right we'll go

this is a three-point game now Dawn Timmitts fighter arena getting fiery here by McDonald and there's a foul on Taryn Jackson wow momentum has completely swung in the Chargers direction amazing play by Lord McDonald

looking like an NFL quarterback out there picking off passes is that puts McDonald at the line there. A couple free throws and she's a good free throw shooter. 79% again. As McDonald. First shot.

And two point game, 74, 72, 530 left. Excuse the voice. Second one, good. It's a one point game. The charges down by as much as 13 at halftime. Moabaker only down one point here with 522 left in the second half. Still a lot of game left. They're down as much as.

10 at the end of the third quarter. We have St. John, guarded by Petrozek. St. John, driving right, finds Jackson in the corner. Jackson for three. And it's good. What a shot by Jackson. Taryn Jackson. 5-7 freshman guard from Lowell, Michigan.

Four-point game, five minutes left. McDonald finds Petruzac on the wing. Look at Inlet to Wilman, but doesn't. Splain top of the key. Deep three won't go. rebound by Holmes might have been a little bit of a fourth shot there I think so I think the offense could have kept going could have kept going there could have forced it was deep and a little covered there would have liked a different shot but soon the charters can do it here on defense of

st. John drives on petersink stops and steps back mid-range shot no good rebound room and McDonald ball up the court the other way as petersick has involved the top of the key looking at a coach for a play as McDonald gets an inlet pass mid-range shot no good good that's a rare miss. Look, we're going to go a foul on Northwood. Putting Ellie Bruce at the line on number 22. Leah Holmes, again from Cleveland, Ohio. Brunswick High School.

I think the Chargers just need to keep their patience, I think. Yeah. Bruce will miss her first. We'd like to make one of these. What she can do here? She can mouse back. She can. Three-point game.

You come back from so far and now you can taste it with three points down. Keep your patience and keep doing what brought you here. Yeah. As we got St. John taking the ball up, swings to the Vokler. Both are working on Splain for Bowers in the corner who passes it quickly back up to Vokler, who gives it down to Holmes in the Payne. As they're going to call a foul on McDonald trying to pick that ball away. That's her third foul.

Not much foul trouble here for the Chargers, but we'll call that a shooting foul. Chargers down three, about four minutes left. Holmes, missed their first one. Simpsonites yelling during the shot. Second one, Holmes. That's good. Four-point lead for the Chargers.

As Rulman has the ball atop of the key, because it's back to McDonald. putting in the work trying to get in there won't as brown shoots a three oh no good rebound popwell tough board gives it a room and back out the spleen three and a half minutes left petersick for three will go what a shot what a shot these peters that cutting the lead down to one yet again about three minutes left as palms trying to put work in popua that's the mismatch they've been attacking it won't go charges have a chance to get the lead for the first time in a while. It's the first quarter I believe. Petrus is it for three again won't go. Rebont

I say this little break here is more important for the charges than there's the Timberwolves.

They'll get their free throws in the Timberwolves, but everything goes well charged the rebound. They got to get a good play here. It looks like Coach Brennan has a way more now and drawn off some.
