After Action Report
The Timberwolves buried the Nuggets 126-100. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Timberwolves cashed in. The Timberwolves carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Timberwolves' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Timberwolves bench chemistry carried them. Nuggets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Timberwolves · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Timberwolves · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
