After Action Report
The Timberwolves buried the Suns 145-119. Timberwolves' scorers couldn't be contained. Timberwolves' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Timberwolves owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Suns looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Timberwolves · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Timberwolves · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Suns · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
