After Action Report

The Timberwolves snuck past the Hawks 101-99. The Hawks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Timberwolves. The Timberwolves answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Timberwolves' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Timberwolves per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
