After Action Report
The Timberwolves survived the Suns 106-105. Timberwolves' offense had its way with the Suns. Timberwolves' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; shots just aren't falling for the Timberwolves lately. Timberwolves' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Timberwolves · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
