After Action Report
The Celtics fended off the Timberwolves 109-102. Celtics' offense had its way with the Timberwolves. Fresh off a statement win, the Timberwolves stayed locked in; Timberwolves' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Timberwolves looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Timberwolves rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Timberwolves · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
