After Action Report

The 76ers downed the Timberwolves 116-103. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the 76ers cashed in. The Timberwolves owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Timberwolves' outside barrage was a constant threat. Timberwolves' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

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.
  • 76ers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
