After Action Report

In Sacramento, the Kings upended the Timberwolves 120-116. Kings controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Kings' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; second-chance points piled up for the Timberwolves. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.

What tipped it

  • Timberwolves · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Timberwolves · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
