After Action Report
The Lakers squeaked past the Timberwolves 92-88. Ugly basketball, but the Lakers did just enough. Timberwolves' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Timberwolves stayed locked in. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Timberwolves · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
