After Action Report
The Timberwolves survived the Heat 112-108. The breakneck pace played right into Timberwolves' hands. Timberwolves' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Timberwolves' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Timberwolves bench chemistry carried them. Heat's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Timberwolves · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
