After Action Report

The Bobcats fended off the Timberwolves 116-109. Bobcats' scorers couldn't be contained. Bobcats' outside barrage was a constant threat; Timberwolves' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Bobcats bench chemistry carried them. Bobcats' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Timberwolves · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Timberwolves · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Bobcats · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
