After Action Report

In Minnesota, the Kings squeaked past the Timberwolves 111-107. Kings' offense had its way with the Timberwolves. Second-chance points piled up for the Kings; Kings' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Kings bench chemistry carried them. The Timberwolves rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

  • Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Kings · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
