After Action Report
In a track meet, the Celtics survived the Timberwolves 103-99. Celtics controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Timberwolves are in a full-on tailspin. The Timberwolves looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Timberwolves' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 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.
