After Action Report

The Kings held off the Timberwolves 106-99. The Timberwolves couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Kings. The Kings owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Timberwolves' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Timberwolves' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
