After Action Report

The Timberwolves edged the Kings 90-82. Ugly basketball, but the Timberwolves did just enough. Timberwolves' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; shots just aren't falling for the Kings lately. The Kings looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Timberwolves per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Timberwolves · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Timberwolves · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Kings · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
