After Action Report

The Timberwolves rolled past the Raptors 122-75. Timberwolves' starting five clicked while the Raptors looked disjointed. The Timberwolves carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Raptors' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Raptors looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Timberwolves' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Timberwolves · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Raptors · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
