After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Timberwolves edged the Lakers 108-101. The better team simply showed up tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Timberwolves; shots just aren't falling for the Lakers lately. The Timberwolves bench chemistry carried them. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it

- 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.
