After Action Report
In Minnesota, the Wizards demolished the Timberwolves 125-98. Wizards torched the Timberwolves on the offensive end. The Wizards sent shots into the fifth row all night; the Wizards pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Timberwolves' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
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.
- Wizards · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
- Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
