After Action Report
In a track meet, the Timberwolves survived the Wizards 111-110. Timberwolves controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Timberwolves answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Timberwolves' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Timberwolves' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
