After Action Report
In Minnesota, the Timberwolves squeaked past the Lakers 105-104. The Lakers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Timberwolves. The Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss; Lakers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Timberwolves per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
