After Action Report
The Timberwolves outlasted the Suns 103-92. Every possession went the Timberwolves way. Second-chance points piled up for the Timberwolves; Timberwolves' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Suns looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Suns rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Suns · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
