After Action Report
In a track meet, the Timberwolves rolled past the Heat 132-110. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Timberwolves cashed in. Fresh off a statement win, the Timberwolves stayed locked in; Timberwolves' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Timberwolves bench chemistry carried them. Heat's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Heat · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Timberwolves · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Timberwolves · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
