What tipped it

- Timberwolves · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Timberwolves · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Timberwolves · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
