After Action Report
The Lakers rolled past the Timberwolves 127-93. The tempo dragged the Timberwolves into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Lakers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Timberwolves utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
