After Action Report
The Cavaliers held off the Timberwolves 106-98. Cavaliers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Cavaliers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Timberwolves' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Timberwolves · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
