After Action Report
The Timberwolves demolished the Bulls 126-82. Timberwolves' positional fit overwhelmed the Bulls rotation. The Timberwolves owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Timberwolves carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. Whispers of a Bulls locker-room rift aren't helping. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Timberwolves · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Timberwolves · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
