After Action Report
The Timberwolves took care of the Warriors 116-101. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Timberwolves cashed in. Timberwolves' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Timberwolves' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Timberwolves per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
