After Action Report

The Celtics outlasted the Timberwolves 116-107. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. The Timberwolves answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Timberwolves' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Timberwolves' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Timberwolves · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
