After Action Report
The Timberwolves squeaked past the Spurs 116-111. Ugly basketball, but the Timberwolves did just enough. The Timberwolves steamroller is in full effect right now; Timberwolves' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. 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.
