After Action Report

The Timberwolves blew the doors off the Grizzlies 126-86. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Timberwolves cashed in. The Timberwolves owned the glass, generating extra possessions; shots just aren't falling for the Timberwolves lately. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Grizzlies' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Timberwolves · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Timberwolves · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Timberwolves · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Grizzlies · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
