After Action Report
The Bulls fended off the Timberwolves 113-105. The tempo dragged the Timberwolves into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Bulls owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Bulls' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
