After Action Report
The Timberwolves ran roughshod over the Celtics 142-89. The Timberwolves got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Timberwolves carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Timberwolves' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Timberwolves' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
