After Action Report
The Cavaliers ran roughshod over the Timberwolves 126-97. The Cavaliers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Cavaliers; Cavaliers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Timberwolves looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it

- Timberwolves · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Timberwolves · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
