After Action Report
The Lakers squeaked past the Timberwolves 107-106. Ugly basketball, but the Lakers did just enough. The Timberwolves answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Timberwolves pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Timberwolves rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
