After Action Report

The Timberwolves edged the Jazz 104-98. Timberwolves' positional fit overwhelmed the Jazz rotation. The Timberwolves owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Jazz's defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Timberwolves' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Timberwolves · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Timberwolves · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
