After Action Report
The Timberwolves survived the Pacers 111-108. The tempo dragged the Pacers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Timberwolves' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Timberwolves owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Whispers of a Pacers locker-room rift aren't helping. The Pacers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
