After Action Report
The Timberwolves snuck past the Magic 101-98. Timberwolves' scorers couldn't be contained. Timberwolves' stars took over and bent the game to their will; the Timberwolves pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Timberwolves bench chemistry carried them. The Magic rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
