After Action Report
The Timberwolves squeaked past the Nuggets 102-99. Ugly basketball, but the Timberwolves did just enough. Fresh off a statement win, the Timberwolves stayed locked in; 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.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
