What tipped it

  • Magic · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Timberwolves · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Timberwolves · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Timberwolves · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
