After Action Report
The Timberwolves squeaked past the Cavaliers 116-111. The Timberwolves got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Fresh off a statement win, the Timberwolves stayed locked in; the Timberwolves pushed the pace until the other side broke.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Timberwolves · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
