After Action Report
The Lakers shocked the Timberwolves 122-114. The Timberwolves had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Shots just aren't falling for the Lakers lately; Lakers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. An upset for the books.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Timberwolves · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Timberwolves · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
