After Action Report
The Timberwolves snuck past the 76ers 95-93. The 76ers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Timberwolves. Timberwolves' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone; the Timberwolves answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Early returns: the Timberwolves per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
