After Action Report
The Timberwolves stunned the Suns 108-101. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Timberwolves cashed in. The Timberwolves couldn't shake the cold spell; Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Suns' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
What tipped it
- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Timberwolves · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Timberwolves · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
