After Action Report

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.
  • Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
