After Action Report
The Timberwolves snuck past the Pacers 113-109. Timberwolves' scorers couldn't be contained. Timberwolves' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Timberwolves pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Pacers locker-room rift aren't helping. The Pacers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pacers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
