After Action Report

The Timberwolves ran roughshod over the Nuggets 114-92. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Timberwolves owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Timberwolves carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Nuggets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Timberwolves · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Timberwolves · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Nuggets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
