After Action Report

In Minnesota, the Jazz ran roughshod over the Timberwolves 116-91. The Timberwolves had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Fresh off a statement win, the Jazz stayed locked in; the Timberwolves are in a full-on tailspin. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Timberwolves · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Timberwolves · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Jazz · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
