After Action Report
The Timberwolves held off the Lakers 117-109. Timberwolves' offense had its way with the Lakers. Shots just aren't falling for the Timberwolves lately; the Timberwolves bent the defense out of shape from deep. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Timberwolves · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Timberwolves · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
