After Action Report

The Clippers snuck past the Timberwolves 116-114. Clippers' offense had its way with the Timberwolves. Clippers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Timberwolves' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Clippers bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Timberwolves utilization choices clashed with the team identity.

What tipped it

  • Timberwolves · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
