After Action Report
The Timberwolves survived the Lakers 105-100. The Timberwolves won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Timberwolves' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Timberwolves came in with something to prove after a loss. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed.
