After Action Report
The Timberwolves fended off the Cavaliers 125-117. Ugly basketball, but the Timberwolves did just enough. Timberwolves' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Timberwolves came in with something to prove after a loss. The Cavaliers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Timberwolves · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Cavaliers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
