The Clippers improve to 6-4 with the win, while the T-Wolves fall to 4-7. The franchises will meet two more times this season, both times in Minneapolis.
Starting Lineups:
The starting lineups for Monday’s match-up were not confirmed until shortly before tip-off.
Los Angeles revealed that defensive force Avery Bradley would not play, due to a left ankle sprain suffered during Sunday’s team practice. Rookie Shai Gilgeous-Alexander made his first NBA start, playing in Bradley’s stead.
