After Action Report

The Timberwolves outlasted the Knicks 113-99. The Knicks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Timberwolves' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Knicks. Whispers of a Knicks locker-room rift aren't helping. Timberwolves' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Knicks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
