The Lakers (19-19) got back to .500 this season, following their 108-103 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves. Not only does this mark the first win in 2022, but it is also the first time L.A. has beaten Minnesota this season (previously lost first two meetings).
Despite the Timberwolves outrebounding the Lake Show on the offensive glass, 20-4 (and 56-28 in total rebounds), L.A. was able to come out victorious. The most intriguing fact about that particular stat is that when the Lakers allow 18-plus offensive rebounds in a game this season, they are undefeated (now 4-0).
For the first time in eight games, LeBron James scored under 30 points (the last time being against this same Minnesota team when he scored 18).
