After Action Report
The Timberwolves buried the Spurs 126-100. The Spurs had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Timberwolves' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Timberwolves. The Timberwolves bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Timberwolves per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
