After Action Report
The Timberwolves blew the doors off the Lakers 122-93. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Timberwolves cashed in. Timberwolves' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone; Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Timberwolves' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
- Timberwolves · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
