After Action Report
The Timberwolves blew the doors off the Wizards 127-90. The tempo dragged the Wizards into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Timberwolves' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Timberwolves answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Timberwolves bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Wizards utilization choices clashed with the team identity. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
