After Action Report

In Minnesota, the Timberwolves handled the Warriors 86-72. Ugly basketball, but the Timberwolves did just enough. The Timberwolves came in with something to prove after a loss; Timberwolves' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Warriors looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Warriors utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Timberwolves · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Warriors · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Warriors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
