After Action Report

In Minnesota, the Magic squeaked past the Timberwolves 136-134 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Magic cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Magic; the Magic came in with something to prove after a loss. Tonight's Timberwolves utilization choices clashed with the team identity.

What tipped it

  • Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Magic · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
