After Action Report
The Lakers outlasted the Timberwolves 102-90. Ugly basketball, but the Lakers did just enough. The Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss; the Timberwolves couldn't shake the cold spell. The Timberwolves looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Timberwolves' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Timberwolves · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Timberwolves · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
