After Action Report

The Timberwolves edged the Nuggets 103-97. Ugly basketball, but the Timberwolves did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Timberwolves; the Timberwolves ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Timberwolves bench chemistry carried them. The Timberwolves rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Survive-and-advance type win.
