Impact Russell was a no-show in the victory, turning in arguably his worst performance of the season. It mattered little as the Timberwolves easily accounted for Lakers, demonstrating just how far they have come this season in terms of overall productivity. Over the past two weeks, Russell has averaged only 12.7 points per game, well down on his season average of 18.6. Outside of a couple of minor injury concerns, he has managed to stay relatively healthy thus far and has the team poised to make the playoffs for just the second time in the past 18 years.
