After Action Report

The Timberwolves pulled away from the Kings 128-117 in overtime. The Kings had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Timberwolves' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Timberwolves owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Timberwolves' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
