After Action Report

The Timberwolves ran roughshod over the Clippers 134-106. Timberwolves torched the Clippers on the offensive end. Fresh off a statement win, the Timberwolves stayed locked in; the Timberwolves pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Timberwolves per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
