After Action Report

The Timberwolves downed the Raptors 117-100. The Timberwolves got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Timberwolves carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Timberwolves' outside barrage was a constant threat. Whispers of a Raptors locker-room rift aren't helping. Timberwolves' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Raptors · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Timberwolves · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
