After Action Report

The Nets demolished the Timberwolves 116-78. Nets torched the Timberwolves on the offensive end. The Nets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Nets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Whispers of a Timberwolves locker-room rift aren't helping. The Timberwolves rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • 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.
  • Nets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Nets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
