The Los Angeles Lakers picked up a rare win Friday night over the Minnesota Timberwolves, 130-119. They trailed most of the game until they finally decided to play some defense in the fourth quarter and it triggered a strong comeback. The unlikely line-up on the floor during the surge included Corey Brewer, Tyler Ennis, Larry Nance, Jr., Jordan Clarkson, and David Nwaba.
For Minnesota, Andrew Wiggins and Karl Anthony Towns were as good as advertised, finishing with 36 and 25 points, respectively. Ricky Rubio also had a strong game with 19 points and 15 rebounds. On this night, however, it was not enough to overcome a strong team effort from the purple and gold.
