After Action Report
The Timberwolves survived the Bulls 117-115. The breakneck pace played right into Timberwolves' hands. The Timberwolves carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Timberwolves' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Bulls' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
