After Action Report

The Timberwolves ran roughshod over the Clippers 118-92. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Timberwolves cashed in. Timberwolves' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; shots just aren't falling for the Clippers lately. The Timberwolves bench chemistry carried them. Timberwolves' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

What tipped it

  • Clippers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Timberwolves · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
