After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Timberwolves snuck past the Suns 99-98. Ugly basketball, but the Timberwolves did just enough. Timberwolves' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Timberwolves came in with something to prove after a loss. The Timberwolves bench chemistry carried them. Timberwolves' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it

- Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Timberwolves · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Timberwolves · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
