After Action Report
The Timberwolves outlasted the Knicks 102-93. Timberwolves' offense had its way with the Knicks. The Timberwolves owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Timberwolves bent the defense out of shape from deep. 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 · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
