After Action Report
In a track meet, the Timberwolves held off the Bobcats 104-97. Timberwolves controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Timberwolves couldn't shake the cold spell; Timberwolves' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Bobcats rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- 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.
