After Action Report

In a track meet, the Timberwolves pulled away from the Jazz 111-98. The breakneck pace played right into Timberwolves' hands. Fresh off a statement win, the Timberwolves stayed locked in; the Timberwolves pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Timberwolves bench chemistry carried them. Timberwolves' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
