After Action Report
The Timberwolves snuck past the Lakers 101-98. The breakneck pace played right into Timberwolves' hands. The Timberwolves pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Lakers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. Timberwolves' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
