It was two-for-one night at Target Center, the Lakers incrementally improving their abysmal road record and breaking the century mark for the first time in 13 games with a 106-101 victory Sunday over the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Of course it didn't come easy for the Lakers, which is no longer a surprise this season.

There was an air of desperation on their bench, Pau Gasol and Kobe Bryant playing the entire second half, tacking on more minutes in an already unforgiving season."
