After Action Report

In Minnesota, the Timberwolves edged the Cavaliers 102-93. Ugly basketball, but the Timberwolves did just enough. The Timberwolves sent shots into the fifth row all night; the Timberwolves looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Timberwolves per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • 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.
