After Action Report

The Timberwolves snuck past the Knicks 107-102 in overtime. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Timberwolves' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Knicks sent shots into the fifth row all night. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Timberwolves' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Timberwolves · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Knicks · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
