After Action Report

What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Timberwolves · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
