After Action Report
The Lakers downed the Timberwolves 108-97. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Lakers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Timberwolves bent the defense out of shape from deep. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
