After Action Report
The Timberwolves edged the Celtics 88-79. The Timberwolves won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Timberwolves bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Timberwolves · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
