After Action Report
The Timberwolves squeaked past the Nuggets 91-89. The Timberwolves won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Second-chance points piled up for the Timberwolves; the Timberwolves came in with something to prove after a loss. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. The Timberwolves rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
