After Action Report

The Clippers handled the Timberwolves 131-116. The tempo dragged the Timberwolves into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Clippers. The Clippers bench chemistry carried them. The Timberwolves rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
