After Action Report
The Clippers outlasted the Timberwolves 105-96. Ugly basketball, but the Clippers did just enough. The Clippers came in with something to prove after a loss; Clippers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Timberwolves looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Timberwolves rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
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.
