After Action Report

In Minnesota, the Timberwolves buried the Suns 98-76. Ugly basketball, but the Timberwolves did just enough. The Timberwolves answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Timberwolves' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Garbage time started early.
