After Action Report
In Minnesota, the Timberwolves took care of the Pistons 121-103. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Timberwolves cashed in. The Timberwolves came in with something to prove after a loss; Timberwolves' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Timberwolves' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Timberwolves · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
