After Action Report

The Timberwolves took care of the Lakers 147-128. The Timberwolves got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Timberwolves' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Timberwolves. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Timberwolves per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
