After Action Report
In Minnesota, the Timberwolves took care of the Jazz 114-104. Timberwolves controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Timberwolves owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Timberwolves' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Timberwolves per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. 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.
