After Action Report
In Washington, the Timberwolves handled the Wizards 104-90. The better team simply showed up tonight. Timberwolves' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Timberwolves' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Early returns: the Timberwolves per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
