After Action Report

In a track meet, the Jazz outlasted the Timberwolves 135-122. The tempo dragged the Timberwolves into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Jazz's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Timberwolves steamroller is in full effect right now. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Timberwolves · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Timberwolves · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
