After Action Report
In Utah, the Timberwolves ran roughshod over the Jazz 122-93. The breakneck pace played right into Timberwolves' hands. The Timberwolves pushed the pace until the other side broke; Jazz's veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Timberwolves bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Timberwolves per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Timberwolves · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
