After Action Report
In Washington, the Wizards edged the Timberwolves 99-92. Every possession went the Wizards way. Shots just aren't falling for the Wizards lately; the Timberwolves owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Timberwolves' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Timberwolves · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Timberwolves · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
