After Action Report

The Timberwolves survived the 76ers 129-124. The 76ers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Timberwolves; Timberwolves' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Timberwolves' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Timberwolves · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Timberwolves · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • 76ers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
