After Action Report
The Suns pulled away from the Timberwolves 119-104. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Suns cashed in. The Suns owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Suns' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Whispers of a Timberwolves locker-room rift aren't helping. The Timberwolves rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
