After Action Report
The Lakers ran roughshod over the Timberwolves 142-122. The Timberwolves had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Lakers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Timberwolves' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
