After Action Report
The Cavaliers snuck past the Timberwolves 114-111. The Cavaliers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Cavaliers came in with something to prove after a loss; the Cavaliers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Timberwolves looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Timberwolves · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- 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.
