Hey, hey! The Lakers won game 5 last night to go up 3-2 on the Minnesota Timberwolves. They won 120-90. Really a lopsided score. The big difference was that Derek Fisher and Jannero Pargo decided to play a little defense on Troy Hudson. Troy didn’t get the open looks like he did in the first four games. Another big difference was that Robert Horry’s shots were falling at a better rate; while still not good (5-12) it is better than he has done before in this series. Kobe actually looked like he was thinking about shot selection and ended up 12-21 from the field. Overall the Lakers shot .542 from the field - much better than the 40% or so that they were shooting so far in the series. They did this while limiting the ‘Wolves to .429 from the field. The teams travel to the Staples Center for game 6; could be the end of the series.
