After Action Report

The Timberwolves fended off the Lakers 114-106. Timberwolves' offense had its way with the Lakers. The Timberwolves carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Timberwolves' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Early returns: the Timberwolves per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

  • Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
