Julius Randle dropped in another timely basket in the second half and turned toward the sideline as he shuffled back on defense, beating his chest with both fists to further boost the decibel level at Target Center that was roaring all afternoon as the Minnesota Timberwolves took control of the series with the Los Angeles Lakers. Randle has been a handful for the Lakers in this matchup, delivering for the Timberwolves a consistent scoring alternative to star Anthony Edwards. Leaping to keep offensive rebounds alive, diving on the floor for loose balls and encouraging the crowd to get louder with flex poses and primal screams during the two wins at home, Randle looks like he has found his footing in these NBA playoffs.
