After Action Report

The Timberwolves knocked off the Celtics 112-108. The better team simply showed up tonight. Timberwolves' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Timberwolves ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Timberwolves bench chemistry carried them. Timberwolves' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
