After Action Report
The Timberwolves ran roughshod over the Raptors 109-82. Every possession went the Timberwolves way. The Timberwolves owned the glass, generating extra possessions; shots just aren't falling for the Timberwolves lately. The Raptors looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Raptors utilization choices clashed with the team identity. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
