After Action Report
The Timberwolves buried the Suns 121-96. The Timberwolves got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Timberwolves' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Timberwolves' outside barrage was a constant threat. Timberwolves' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Timberwolves · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Suns · 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.
