After Action Report

The Timberwolves blew the doors off the Spurs 133-111. The Spurs had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Timberwolves' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Timberwolves pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Timberwolves bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Timberwolves per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
