After Action Report

In Minnesota, the Timberwolves rolled past the Lakers 142-96. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Timberwolves cashed in. The Timberwolves pushed the pace until the other side broke; second-chance points piled up for the Lakers. Timberwolves' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
