After Action Report
The Nuggets handled the Timberwolves 143-132. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nuggets cashed in. The Nuggets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Timberwolves owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Whispers of a Timberwolves locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Timberwolves · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Timberwolves · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nuggets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
