After Action Report
In New York, the Timberwolves squeaked past the Knicks 111-110. Timberwolves' scorers couldn't be contained. The Timberwolves carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Timberwolves' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Timberwolves bench chemistry carried them. Knicks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
