After Action Report

The Timberwolves snuck past the Jazz 106-104. The better team simply showed up tonight. Timberwolves' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Jazz's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Timberwolves' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Timberwolves · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Jazz · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
