After Action Report
The Timberwolves took care of the Spurs 128-116. The breakneck pace played right into Timberwolves' hands. Timberwolves' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Timberwolves' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Timberwolves' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Timberwolves · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Spurs · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
