After Action Report
In a track meet, the Timberwolves squeaked past the Suns 105-102. The tempo dragged the Suns into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Timberwolves' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Suns carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Timberwolves bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Suns utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
