After Action Report

The Lakers ran roughshod over the Timberwolves 137-88. Lakers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Lakers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Lakers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It was over by halftime.
