After Action Report
The Timberwolves ran roughshod over the Cavaliers 111-83. The Timberwolves got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Timberwolves' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Cavaliers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Cavaliers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Timberwolves' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
