After Action Report
The Timberwolves pulled away from the Lakers 107-97. Timberwolves torched the Lakers on the offensive end. Timberwolves' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Lakers couldn't shake the cold spell. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
