After Action Report

The Timberwolves snuck past the Magic 128-123. The Magic had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Timberwolves couldn't shake the cold spell; Timberwolves' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Magic looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Magic's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Timberwolves · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Timberwolves · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
