After Action Report
The Celtics snuck past the Timberwolves 103-98. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Celtics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Timberwolves' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Timberwolves' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Timberwolves · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Timberwolves · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
