After Action Report
The Timberwolves handled the Cavaliers 106-94. The Timberwolves won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Fresh off a statement win, the Timberwolves stayed locked in; Timberwolves' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Timberwolves per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
