After Action Report

The Timberwolves snuck past the Grizzlies 101-97. Timberwolves' scorers couldn't be contained. The Timberwolves came in with something to prove after a loss; the Grizzlies played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Timberwolves per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
