After Action Report
In Minnesota, the Timberwolves ran roughshod over the Grizzlies 115-87. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Timberwolves cashed in. The Timberwolves couldn't shake the cold spell; the Timberwolves bent the defense out of shape from deep. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Timberwolves · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Grizzlies · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Grizzlies · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
