After Action Report
The Timberwolves survived the 76ers 111-109. Ugly basketball, but the Timberwolves did just enough. Timberwolves' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; 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. Survive-and-advance type win.
