After Action Report
The Timberwolves blew the doors off the Lakers 113-88. Timberwolves' scorers couldn't be contained. Timberwolves' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Lakers' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. The Lakers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
- Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
