After Action Report
The Timberwolves fended off the Grizzlies 96-89. Ugly basketball, but the Timberwolves did just enough. The Timberwolves owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Grizzlies came in with something to prove after a loss. Whispers of a Grizzlies locker-room rift aren't helping. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Grizzlies · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Grizzlies · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Timberwolves · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
