After Action Report
The Timberwolves upended the Lakers 120-99. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Timberwolves' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Timberwolves owned the glass, generating extra possessions. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Timberwolves · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Timberwolves · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
