After Action Report
The Cavaliers ran roughshod over the Timberwolves 120-98. The Timberwolves had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Cavaliers bent the defense out of shape from deep; Timberwolves' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Timberwolves rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
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 · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
