After Action Report
The Spurs blew the doors off the Timberwolves 144-92. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Spurs cashed in. Spurs' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Spurs' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Timberwolves looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Spurs · 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 · 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.
