After Action Report
In Minnesota, the Timberwolves ran roughshod over the Pacers 109-89. Ugly basketball, but the Timberwolves did just enough. Timberwolves' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Timberwolves' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Timberwolves' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Timberwolves · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pacers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
