In Miami, the Timberwolves survived the Heat 90-86. Ugly basketball, but the Timberwolves did just enough. The Timberwolves ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Timberwolves' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Timberwolves bench chemistry carried them. The Heat rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
