After Action Report
The Timberwolves survived the Suns 94-92. The Suns couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Timberwolves. The Timberwolves sent shots into the fifth row all night; the Timberwolves looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Timberwolves' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
