After Action Report

The Timberwolves survived the Magic 106-101. Timberwolves torched the Magic on the offensive end. The Timberwolves owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Timberwolves bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. 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.
  • Timberwolves · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
