After Action Report

The Lakers edged the Timberwolves 120-114. The Timberwolves had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Lakers' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Timberwolves' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
