After Action Report
The Lakers upended the Timberwolves 111-99. Lakers' scorers couldn't be contained. Shots just aren't falling for the Lakers lately; Timberwolves' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Timberwolves rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- 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 · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
