After Action Report

In Washington, the Timberwolves outlasted the Wizards 110-101. Every possession went the Timberwolves way. Timberwolves' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone; Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Timberwolves bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Timberwolves per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
