After Action Report
In Chicago, the Timberwolves blew the doors off the Bulls 117-83. Timberwolves' scorers couldn't be contained. The Timberwolves came in with something to prove after a loss; the Timberwolves pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Bulls locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Timberwolves per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Timberwolves · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
