After Action Report
The Lakers squeaked past the Timberwolves 90-89. Ugly basketball, but the Lakers did just enough. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Lakers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
