After Action Report

The Timberwolves outlasted the Suns 125-118. The Suns had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Timberwolves couldn't shake the cold spell; Timberwolves' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Suns' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Suns · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • 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.
