LOS ANGELES ? In the Timberwolves' first game without Karl-Anthony Towns, Anthony Edwards went nuclear in scoring 44 points to lead the Wolves to a win.
The next two games, both losses, Naz Reid picked up the scoring slack with a career-high 34 and 25 points, respectively, in the Wolves' next two games.
But on Tuesday, Reid was in foul trouble in the first half, and the Wolves needed to find offense from somewhere else on the roster if they were going to erase a 22-point deficit and beat the Clippers.
They found it in Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Mike Conley.
