After Action Report

The Timberwolves ran roughshod over the Nets 120-89. Timberwolves' offense had its way with the Nets. Second-chance points piled up for the Timberwolves; the Timberwolves came in with something to prove after a loss. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. The Nets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.

  • 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.
  • Timberwolves · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Nets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
