After Action Report

In Minnesota, the Timberwolves snuck past the Wizards 113-109. Timberwolves' offense had its way with the Wizards. Timberwolves' stars took over and bent the game to their will; Timberwolves' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. 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.
