After Action Report

The Timberwolves ran roughshod over the Spurs 103-83. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Second-chance points piled up for the Timberwolves; the Timberwolves couldn't shake the cold spell. The Spurs looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Timberwolves · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Timberwolves · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Spurs · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
