After Action Report
The Timberwolves blew the doors off the Lakers 120-94. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Timberwolves cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Timberwolves; the Timberwolves answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Timberwolves bench chemistry carried them. Timberwolves' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
