After Action Report
The Timberwolves fended off the Wizards 108-100. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Fresh off a statement win, the Timberwolves stayed locked in; Timberwolves' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Timberwolves' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
