After Action Report
The Timberwolves ran roughshod over the Lakers 121-93. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Timberwolves pushed the pace until the other side broke; Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Early returns: the Timberwolves per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
