After Action Report
The Lakers outlasted the Timberwolves 128-113. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
