After Action Report
The Timberwolves demolished the Lakers 116-89. The Timberwolves got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Timberwolves' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Timberwolves' outside barrage was a constant threat. Early returns: the Timberwolves per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
