The Heat survived the Timberwolves 104-101. The Timberwolves couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Heat. The Heat owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Timberwolves looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
