After Action Report
The Timberwolves fended off the Celtics 124-118. The tempo dragged the Celtics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Timberwolves pushed the pace until the other side broke; Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
