After Action Report
The Timberwolves buried the Magic 121-97. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Timberwolves cashed in. Timberwolves' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Magic pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Timberwolves bench chemistry carried them. Timberwolves' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
