After Action Report

The Timberwolves downed the Lakers 117-101. Lineup balance gave the Timberwolves a clear synergy edge. Timberwolves' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; shots just aren't falling for the Timberwolves lately. Timberwolves' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Timberwolves · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Lakers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
