After Action Report
The Timberwolves rolled past the Celtics 139-100. Timberwolves' scorers couldn't be contained. The Timberwolves answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Timberwolves pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Celtics locker-room rift aren't helping. Timberwolves' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Timberwolves · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
