After Action Report
In Minnesota, the Celtics ran roughshod over the Timberwolves 119-99. The Timberwolves had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Timberwolves' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Timberwolves' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
