After Action Report

In Los Angeles, the Clippers squeaked past the Timberwolves 113-111. Clippers' scorers couldn't be contained. Clippers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Timberwolves couldn't shake the cold spell. The Timberwolves looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Timberwolves · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Timberwolves · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
