After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Timberwolves ran roughshod over the Lakers 98-77. The better team simply showed up tonight. Timberwolves' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Timberwolves bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Timberwolves bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Lakers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
