After Action Report
The Timberwolves squeaked past the Lakers 100-97. Timberwolves' offense had its way with the Lakers. Timberwolves' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Timberwolves ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Timberwolves bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Timberwolves · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Timberwolves · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
