After Action Report

In Minnesota, the Pacers squeaked past the Timberwolves 117-116. Pacers' offense had its way with the Timberwolves. Pacers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Timberwolves owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Whispers of a Timberwolves locker-room rift aren't helping.

What tipped it

  • Timberwolves · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Timberwolves · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
