After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Lakers handled the Timberwolves 120-108. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. The Lakers are in a full-on tailspin; Lakers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Tonight's Timberwolves utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Timberwolves · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
