After Action Report
The Timberwolves buried the Jazz 125-97. Timberwolves' offense had its way with the Jazz. Timberwolves' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Timberwolves bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. The Jazz rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Timberwolves · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Jazz · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
