After Action Report

In Los Angeles, the Timberwolves blew the doors off the Lakers 120-92. The Timberwolves got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Timberwolves; shots just aren't falling for the Timberwolves lately. The Timberwolves bench chemistry carried them. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
