After Action Report

The Pacers buried the Timberwolves 126-104. The Timberwolves had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Pacers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pacers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
