After Action Report

In a track meet, the Timberwolves buried the Kings 120-98. The breakneck pace played right into Timberwolves' hands. Second-chance points piled up for the Timberwolves; the Kings pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. The Timberwolves rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
