I didn't get to watch the game, but from the highlights I saw it looked like they played against Yao pretty damn well. They still couldn't really contain him and keep him from scoring important baskets or hitting at the line, but from what I saw the center for the t'wolves just kept quickly taking it right at him and slamming it over him. I'm not sure if that method is something that could work consistantly, and it still doesnt account for "shutting him down", but we know speed and aggression can get at Yao... so it would be wise for other teams to try and exploit that.
