After Action Report

In Los Angeles, the Lakers edged the Timberwolves 107-100. The Lakers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Lakers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Lakers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings.

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 · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Timberwolves · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
