After Action Report
In Minnesota, the Timberwolves ran roughshod over the Spurs 132-112. The breakneck pace played right into Timberwolves' hands. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Timberwolves; the Timberwolves pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Spurs looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Timberwolves' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Spurs · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
