After Action Report
The Timberwolves squeaked past the Lakers 112-111. The Lakers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Timberwolves. Timberwolves' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Tonight's Lakers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · 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.
