If you had turned off Wednesday's 124-104 Timberwolves victory over the woebegone Lakers in the second quarter when they were up 25 and only looked at the final score, you might not have known there were a few happenings in between.
In the first half, Patrick Beverley was firing up the crowd during dead balls and Anthony Edwards was putting on a show with 20 second-quarter points. The celebration was getting an early start.
But the Wolves would lose focus for about 15 game minutes, and Los Angeles trimmed that lead all the way to four, but the Wolves snapped back out of their stupor just in time to make one final push to get the Lakers out the door with a loss.
