After Action Report

In Minnesota, the Timberwolves outlasted the Suns 101-93. Ugly basketball, but the Timberwolves did just enough. The Timberwolves came in with something to prove after a loss; 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.
