After Action Report
The Lakers demolished the Timberwolves 118-86. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. The Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss; Timberwolves' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Garbage time started early.
