After Action Report
The Timberwolves rolled past the Knicks 129-98. The tempo dragged the Knicks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Timberwolves' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Timberwolves owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Early returns: the Timberwolves per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
