After Action Report
In Minnesota, the Knicks survived the Timberwolves 109-104. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Knicks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Knicks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Tonight's Timberwolves utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Knicks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
