After Action Report
In Minnesota, the Timberwolves edged the Cavaliers 117-110. The tempo dragged the Cavaliers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Timberwolves' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Timberwolves looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Timberwolves' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
