After Action Report
The Timberwolves fended off the Nuggets 91-85. The Timberwolves won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Timberwolves bent the defense out of shape from deep; Nuggets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Timberwolves' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
