After Action Report

In Minnesota, the Timberwolves squeaked past the Raptors 94-93. Ugly basketball, but the Timberwolves did just enough. The Timberwolves came in with something to prove after a loss; Timberwolves' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. The Timberwolves rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Survive-and-advance type win.
