After Action Report
The Timberwolves blew the doors off the Kings 116-87. The Timberwolves won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Timberwolves ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Timberwolves' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. The Kings rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
