After Action Report
In Minnesota, the Timberwolves snuck past the Cavaliers 97-96. The breakneck pace played right into Timberwolves' hands. The Timberwolves carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Tonight's Cavaliers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
