After Action Report
In Minnesota, the Timberwolves outlasted the Nuggets 109-96. Timberwolves' offense had its way with the Nuggets. Timberwolves' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Timberwolves owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Nuggets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
