After Action Report

The Jazz survived the Timberwolves 105-102. Jazz's scorers couldn't be contained. The Jazz came in with something to prove after a loss; Timberwolves' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • 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.
  • Timberwolves · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
