After Action Report

In Los Angeles, the Timberwolves buried the Lakers 108-88. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Timberwolves' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; the Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Timberwolves' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Timberwolves · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
