After Action Report

The Timberwolves survived the Jazz 110-106. The Jazz couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Timberwolves. Timberwolves' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; shots just aren't falling for the Timberwolves lately. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Timberwolves' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Timberwolves · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Timberwolves · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Jazz · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
