After Action Report

The Timberwolves fended off the 76ers 121-112 in double overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Timberwolves cashed in. Shots just aren't falling for the Timberwolves lately; 76ers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The 76ers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Timberwolves per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
