After Action Report

The Spurs pulled away from the Timberwolves 96-84. The Timberwolves couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Spurs. Timberwolves' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Timberwolves pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
