After Action Report

The Timberwolves ran roughshod over the Magic 130-79. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Timberwolves cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Timberwolves. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Timberwolves per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Timberwolves · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Timberwolves · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
