After Action Report
In a track meet, the Timberwolves outlasted the Lakers 118-105. The breakneck pace played right into Timberwolves' hands. The Timberwolves are in a full-on tailspin; the Lakers sent shots into the fifth row all night. Whispers of a Lakers locker-room rift aren't helping. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
