Beat the Timberwolves later! Hachimura: We have to let them know that we are a different team now

Reporter Dave McMenamin reported that in an interview after training, Hachimura called on the Lakers to play with an edge tonight.

He said that the Timberwolves, like the Rockets, are one of the most physical teams in the NBA. After experiencing the playoff defeat last season, Hachimura said: "We have to let the Timberwolves know that we are a different team now, and we are ready to fight."
