After Action Report
In Minnesota, the Timberwolves ran roughshod over the 76ers 123-102. Every possession went the Timberwolves way. The Timberwolves carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; 76ers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Timberwolves' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
