After Action Report
The Timberwolves outlasted the Magic 96-81. The Timberwolves won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Timberwolves sent shots into the fifth row all night; Magic's skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Timberwolves bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Timberwolves per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
