The Lakers edged the Timberwolves 125-118. Lakers torched the Timberwolves on the offensive end. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Timberwolves' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
