After Action Report

The Timberwolves ran roughshod over the Suns 122-102. Timberwolves' offense had its way with the Suns. 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. Garbage time started early.

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.
  • Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
