The Timberwolves rolled past the Lakers 126-95. Timberwolves' positional fit overwhelmed the Lakers rotation. Timberwolves' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Timberwolves looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Lakers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It was over by halftime.
