After Action Report
The Timberwolves blew the doors off the Spurs 144-98. The Spurs had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Timberwolves pushed the pace until the other side broke; shots just aren't falling for the Spurs lately. Whispers of a Spurs locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Timberwolves per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
