After Action Report
The Timberwolves demolished the Suns 134-83. The Suns had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Timberwolves' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Timberwolves. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Timberwolves per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
