After Action Report
In a track meet, the Timberwolves blew the doors off the Warriors 133-105. Timberwolves controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Timberwolves answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Warriors' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Whispers of a Warriors locker-room rift aren't helping. Warriors' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Warriors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Warriors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Warriors · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Warriors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Timberwolves · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
