After Action Report
The Timberwolves snuck past the Bucks 97-96. The Bucks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Timberwolves. The Timberwolves ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Timberwolves' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Timberwolves bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Timberwolves per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
