After Action Report

The Timberwolves outlasted the Lakers 136-125. Timberwolves' offense had its way with the Lakers. The Timberwolves looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; Timberwolves' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Timberwolves bench chemistry carried them. Timberwolves' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
