After Action Report
The Timberwolves squeaked past the Jazz 100-97. The Timberwolves won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Jazz owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Jazz bent the defense out of shape from deep. Early returns: the Timberwolves per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
