After Action Report
The Nets took care of the Timberwolves 99-85. Every possession went the Nets way. The Nets steamroller is in full effect right now; the Timberwolves owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Nets bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Timberwolves utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
