After Action Report
The Lakers outlasted the Timberwolves 126-108. Lakers' scorers couldn't be contained. Fresh off a statement win, the Lakers stayed locked in; Lakers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Timberwolves rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Timberwolves · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Lakers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
