After Action Report
The Timberwolves pulled away from the Lakers 102-90. The Lakers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Timberwolves. Timberwolves' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Timberwolves' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Timberwolves rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
