After Action Report
In Philadelphia, the 76ers survived the Timberwolves 103-101. Ugly basketball, but the 76ers did just enough. 76ers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Timberwolves' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Timberwolves' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Timberwolves · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Timberwolves · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
