After Action Report

The Timberwolves snuck past the Spurs 107-105. Timberwolves torched the Spurs on the offensive end. Second-chance points piled up for the Timberwolves; Timberwolves' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Timberwolves bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Spurs · 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.
  • Timberwolves · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
