After Action Report
The Timberwolves blew the doors off the Wizards 106-74. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Timberwolves came in with something to prove after a loss; the Wizards couldn't shake the cold spell. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Wizards' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

- Wizards · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
