After Action Report

The Timberwolves squeaked past the Bucks 97-93. Ugly basketball, but the Timberwolves did just enough. Timberwolves' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Timberwolves came in with something to prove after a loss. The Timberwolves bench chemistry carried them. Timberwolves' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
