After Action Report

In a track meet, the Timberwolves demolished the Rockets 137-102. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Timberwolves cashed in. The Timberwolves answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Timberwolves pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
