After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Lakers demolished the Timberwolves 136-104. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. The Lakers ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; the Lakers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Timberwolves utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
