After Action Report
In Minnesota, the Timberwolves squeaked past the Wizards 101-96. The Timberwolves won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Timberwolves owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Timberwolves' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
