After Action Report
The Jazz took care of the Timberwolves 96-86. The Jazz won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Fresh off a statement win, the Jazz stayed locked in; the Timberwolves owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. Timberwolves' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
