After Action Report
The Timberwolves survived the Clippers 89-88. Ugly basketball, but the Timberwolves did just enough. Timberwolves' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone; the Timberwolves steamroller is in full effect right now. The Timberwolves bench chemistry carried them. The Timberwolves rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
