After Action Report

The Timberwolves outlasted the Knicks 106-98. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Timberwolves looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; Timberwolves' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Timberwolves bench chemistry carried them. Timberwolves' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Timberwolves · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Timberwolves · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
