The Timberwolves buried the Jazz 123-101. Timberwolves' scorers couldn't be contained. Timberwolves' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Jazz owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Jazz utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
