After Action Report
The Timberwolves rolled past the Wizards 116-80. Timberwolves' offense had its way with the Wizards. Second-chance points piled up for the Timberwolves; the Timberwolves came in with something to prove after a loss. The Wizards looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Wizards utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Timberwolves · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Wizards · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
