After Action Report
The Kings survived the Timberwolves 116-113. The breakneck pace played right into Kings' hands. Kings' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Timberwolves' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Tonight's Timberwolves utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Timberwolves · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Timberwolves · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
