After Action Report
The Timberwolves blew the doors off the SuperSonics 133-110. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Timberwolves cashed in. Timberwolves' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Timberwolves owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Timberwolves per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
