After Action Report

The Timberwolves ran roughshod over the Hornets 114-92. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Timberwolves looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; the Hornets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Timberwolves per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
