After Action Report
The Kings snuck past the Timberwolves 131-129 in double overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Kings cashed in. The Kings played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Kings' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Timberwolves looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Timberwolves rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Kings · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- 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.
