After Action Report
The Timberwolves edged the Kings 96-90. Ugly basketball, but the Timberwolves did just enough. Fresh off a statement win, the Timberwolves stayed locked in; Timberwolves' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Timberwolves bench chemistry carried them. The Timberwolves rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
