The Los Angeles Lakers escaped Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Timberwolves with a win, 108-103.
It’s Los Angeles’ first win against Minnesota this season after the last two resulted in blowout losses. Karl-Anthony Towns and D’Angelo Russell did not play in this one due to health and safety protocols.
The Lakers held the lead at halftime after Malik Monk and LeBron James led the way, but L.A. couldn’t rebound the ball whatsoever. That bit the team in the third quarter when the Timberwolves started the period on a solid run, but the Lakers made lineup adjustments and got back into it.
LeBron made some clutch defensive plays in the fourth quarter while Carmelo Anthony nailed tough jumpers to help put the Timberwolves away.
Here is how the Lakers, now 19-19 on the season, graded individually:
