After Action Report
The Cavaliers ran roughshod over the Timberwolves 120-99. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. Cavaliers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Timberwolves' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Timberwolves rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Timberwolves · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
