5 things we gained from the Timberwolves' success over the Lakers

The Minnesota Timberwolves crushed the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday night and there were more pieces of information to how this group will look this year.

With one more beast night from Rudy Gobert and a major last part from Anthony Edwards, the following are five things that we learned in the success over the Lakers.

Gobert had one more enormous night for the Timberwolves, setting up 22 focuses and pulling down 21 bounce back. The seven-footer was especially powerful in all out attack mode end, pulling down eight hostile sheets - remembering one for an Edwards miss with 57.6 seconds to go that put the Wolves ahead 107-99.

Gobert's presence likewise brought on some issues while Anthony Davis sat out with lower back snugness, holding the Lakers to 41.6 percent shooting throughout the span of the game.

There are minutes where the Timberwolves give off an impression of being driving looks on Gobert repulsively, however that is a work underway. After six games, Gobert is averaging 15.0 focuses and 15.2 bounce back, which is helping the Timberwolves up until this point.

It hasn't been a simple ride for Karl-Anthony Towns to conform to playing close to Gobert however Friday was a positive development.

Towns went off in the final quarter, scoring 14 of his 21 places in the last casing while at the same time shooting 6-for-9 with two 3-pointers. Towns likewise wrapped up with eight bounce back and seven helps while support his change to drive forward after the game.

"I don't got no inner self in this. I simply need to win," Towns said. "I've expressed that since Day 1. Individuals question it, and I don't have any idea why. I think I've demonstrated it in my activities and the manner in which my vocation has played out up until this point. I've generally put this group and this association first, in any event, when it wasn't the cool thing."

Gobert likewise commended Towns' eagerness to do the switch work, which could be an advantage as the two settle in the Timberwolves' new offense.

Anthony Edwards is on a mission this season

The main half went poorly for Edwards yet the last part was a continuation of his hot beginning to the season.

Edwards scored 23 of his 29 places in the last part and missed a free toss in the last seconds that would have given him his fourth 30-point round of the time.

Through six games, Edwards is averaging a profession high 23.8 focuses, 6.8 bounce back and 4.2 helps. He's likewise destroying 47% from the floor while thumping 35.3 percent of 3-pointers.

In the event that Edwards keeps on playing like this, it very well may be a breakout season for the No. 1 in general pick in the 2020 NBA Draft.

While Towns, Edwards and Gobert all had strong evenings, the equivalent can't be said for D'Angelo Russell.

The Timberwolves point monitor shot only 4-for-15 on the evening and 2-for-7 from 3-point range. In spite of the fact that he tracked down alternate ways of getting on the scoresheet with seven helps and six takes, there is something else normal from his hostile game, which left him with only 11 focuses on the evening.

One explanation could be the Timberwolves' resolving the crimps on offense, where Russell needs to find the pick-and-roll game he had with Jarret Allen during his time in Brooklyn. We're six games into the season, so we can accept Russell will become familiar with Gobert sooner or later and in the long run begin performing better repulsively.

In some cases the public media can dramatically overemphasize things yet Friday's down made it impeccably understood: the Lakers are a terrible group.

LeBron James scored 28 focuses with seven bounce back and five helps, however his supporting cast is disintegrating at the creases. Russell Westbrook fell off the seat and shot only 6-for-17 from the field and as we referenced before, Davis missed Friday's down as he keeps on fighting wounds.

This is all uplifting news for the Timberwolves, who are hoping to move into the upper level of Western Meeting competitors, however with respect to this moment, the Lakers don't give off an impression of being a group they need to stress over.
