After Action Report
The Timberwolves held off the Heat 126-118. The tempo dragged the Heat into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Timberwolves' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Timberwolves bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Timberwolves per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
