After Action Report

The Lakers survived the Timberwolves 116-111. The tempo dragged the Timberwolves into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Lakers stayed locked in. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Lakers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Timberwolves · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
