After Action Report
The Timberwolves buried the Hornets 117-81. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Timberwolves cashed in. Timberwolves' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Timberwolves looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. 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
- Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Timberwolves · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Timberwolves · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
