After Action Report
The Celtics squeaked past the Timberwolves 116-112. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Timberwolves carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Timberwolves' outside barrage was a constant threat. Tonight's Timberwolves utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Timberwolves · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
