After Action Report
The Timberwolves survived the Lakers 104-102. Ugly basketball, but the Timberwolves did just enough. Timberwolves' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Timberwolves' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. The Timberwolves rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Timberwolves · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
