After Action Report
The Timberwolves blew the doors off the Wizards 116-93. Timberwolves' offense had its way with the Wizards. Timberwolves' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Timberwolves' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Timberwolves bench chemistry carried them. Wizards' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
