After Action Report
The Pacers snuck past the Timberwolves 102-100. Ugly basketball, but the Pacers did just enough. Pacers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Pacers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Whispers of a Timberwolves locker-room rift aren't helping. The Pacers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
