After Action Report
In Minnesota, the Timberwolves squeaked past the Kings 99-96. The Timberwolves won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Timberwolves' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Kings' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Kings looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
