After Action Report
The Timberwolves ran roughshod over the Nuggets 112-88. Ugly basketball, but the Timberwolves did just enough. The Timberwolves owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Timberwolves pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. The Nuggets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
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.
