After Action Report

The Timberwolves handled the Grizzlies 112-94. The Timberwolves got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Timberwolves sent shots into the fifth row all night; the Timberwolves steamroller is in full effect right now. The Timberwolves bench chemistry carried them. Timberwolves' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Grizzlies · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Timberwolves · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
  • Timberwolves · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Timberwolves · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
