After Action Report
The Timberwolves outlasted the 76ers 116-103. Timberwolves controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Timberwolves carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Timberwolves bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Timberwolves' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
