The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves Sunday night, 110-109, in an exciting contest that was decided on the last play of the game. As time expired, D’Angelo Russell received a pass from Julius Randle and shot immediately from three-point range, with the ball bouncing high of the rim before settling through the net.
For the Lakers, they are now on a four game winning streak for the first time this season. It took every ounce of effort the Lakers could muster to withstand an onslaught from the Timberwolves’ Andrew Wiggins, who finished with 41 points, and Karl Anthony Towns who had 40 points and 21 rebounds.
