After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks outlasted the Timberwolves 127-119. The tempo dragged the Timberwolves into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Knicks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Timberwolves' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Timberwolves · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
