After Action Report
The Timberwolves squeaked past the Kings 99-95. The Kings 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. Early returns: the Timberwolves per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
