After Action Report

The Timberwolves took care of the 76ers 91-79. The 76ers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Timberwolves. Timberwolves' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Timberwolves came in with something to prove after a loss. The 76ers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Timberwolves · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • 76ers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • 76ers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • 76ers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
