After Action Report

The Timberwolves took care of the Jazz 131-118. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Timberwolves cashed in. Timberwolves' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Timberwolves' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Jazz looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Jazz 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.
  • Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
