After Action Report
The Timberwolves rolled past the Lakers 129-93. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Fresh off a statement win, the Timberwolves stayed locked in; the Lakers are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a Lakers locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Timberwolves per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
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 · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
