After Action Report
The Timberwolves shocked the Celtics 120-117 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Timberwolves cashed in. The Timberwolves answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Timberwolves bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Timberwolves bench chemistry carried them. The Timberwolves rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
