After Action Report

In Seattle, the Timberwolves survived the SuperSonics 99-97. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Shots just aren't falling for the Timberwolves lately; Timberwolves' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Timberwolves per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • 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.
