After Action Report
In Minnesota, the Timberwolves outlasted the Kings 104-97. The Kings couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Timberwolves. The Timberwolves steamroller is in full effect right now; Timberwolves' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Timberwolves' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
