After Action Report

The Lakers squeaked past the Timberwolves 114-110. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Lakers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. The Lakers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
