After Action Report

In a track meet, the Timberwolves ran roughshod over the 76ers 125-89. The 76ers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Timberwolves couldn't shake the cold spell; 76ers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Whispers of a 76ers locker-room rift aren't helping. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • 76ers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • 76ers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • 76ers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Timberwolves · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
