After Action Report

In Minnesota, the Timberwolves took care of the Nuggets 104-92. Ugly basketball, but the Timberwolves did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Timberwolves; fresh off a statement win, the Timberwolves stayed locked in. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Timberwolves' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Timberwolves · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Timberwolves · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Timberwolves · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
