After Action Report
The Lakers ran roughshod over the Timberwolves 114-81. The better team simply showed up tonight. Lakers' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Timberwolves' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Timberwolves' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Timberwolves · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
