After Action Report
In Miami, the Heat ran roughshod over the Timberwolves 134-97. The Heat got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Timberwolves owned the glass, generating extra possessions; shots just aren't falling for the Timberwolves lately. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. The Timberwolves rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Timberwolves · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Timberwolves · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Timberwolves · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
