After Action Report
In Minnesota, the Lakers rolled past the Timberwolves 141-109. The tempo dragged the Timberwolves into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Lakers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. The Timberwolves rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
