After Action Report
In Minnesota, the Timberwolves buried the Grizzlies 125-87. The breakneck pace played right into Timberwolves' hands. Timberwolves' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Timberwolves ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. The Timberwolves rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Timberwolves · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Timberwolves · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Grizzlies · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
