After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Timberwolves outlasted the Cavaliers 99-87. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Timberwolves came in with something to prove after a loss; shots just aren't falling for the Cavaliers lately. Whispers of a Cavaliers locker-room rift aren't helping. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Timberwolves · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
