After Action Report

The Grizzlies survived the Timberwolves 100-95. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Grizzlies bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Timberwolves owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Timberwolves · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Timberwolves · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
