After Action Report
The Timberwolves downed the Heat 102-86. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Timberwolves owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Timberwolves rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
