After Action Report

In New Jersey, the Timberwolves squeaked past the Nets 125-123 in overtime. The Nets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Timberwolves' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Timberwolves' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Timberwolves bench chemistry carried them. The Nets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

What tipped it

  • Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
