After Action Report

The Grizzlies demolished the Timberwolves 124-86. The Timberwolves had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Grizzlies' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; second-chance points piled up for the Timberwolves. Whispers of a Timberwolves locker-room rift aren't helping. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Timberwolves · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Timberwolves · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Timberwolves · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
