After Action Report

In Minnesota, the Timberwolves snuck past the Kings 105-104. The Timberwolves won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Timberwolves answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Timberwolves' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Timberwolves' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
