After Action Report
The Timberwolves squeaked past the Lakers 114-109. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Timberwolves owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Timberwolves' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Timberwolves · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
