After Action Report

The Timberwolves ran roughshod over the 76ers 126-98. Timberwolves controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Timberwolves couldn't shake the cold spell; Timberwolves' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. 76ers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Timberwolves · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Timberwolves · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
