After Action Report

In Minnesota, the Timberwolves downed the Kings 107-96. The Timberwolves won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Second-chance points piled up for the Timberwolves; the Timberwolves played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Kings utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

  • Timberwolves · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Timberwolves · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
