After Action Report
In Orlando, the Timberwolves survived the Magic 107-105. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Timberwolves' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Timberwolves' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Timberwolves bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Timberwolves per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
