After Action Report
In Philadelphia, the Timberwolves ran roughshod over the 76ers 114-88. Timberwolves torched the 76ers on the offensive end. The Timberwolves carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the 76ers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Whispers of a 76ers locker-room rift aren't helping. The 76ers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- 76ers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- 76ers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- 76ers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Timberwolves · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
