After Action Report
The Kings pulled away from the Timberwolves 131-114. The Timberwolves had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Kings played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Kings bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Kings bench chemistry carried them. The Timberwolves rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
