The Timberwolves rolled past the Lakers 128-99. The breakneck pace played right into Timberwolves' hands. Timberwolves' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Timberwolves carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.
