After Action Report
The Timberwolves blew the doors off the Nets 100-79. The Nets 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 looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Timberwolves bench chemistry carried them. Timberwolves' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
