After Action Report
The Bulls took care of the Timberwolves 119-105. Bulls torched the Timberwolves on the offensive end. The Bulls carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Bulls' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Timberwolves looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Timberwolves' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- 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.
- Timberwolves · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
