After Action Report
In New York, the Timberwolves fended off the Knicks 109-100. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Timberwolves' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Knicks. The Timberwolves bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Timberwolves per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
