After Action Report
The Timberwolves snuck past the Suns 87-85. Ugly basketball, but the Timberwolves did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Timberwolves; the Timberwolves came in with something to prove after a loss. Timberwolves' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
