The Timberwolves added to their losing streak Friday night but not without making a fourth-quarter comeback run in their 124-117 loss to the Clippers.
The Wolves put together their best defensive effort in the fourth quarter and managed to hold Kawhi Leonard and Paul George to 12 points on 3-for-12 shooting by playing the type of physical defense that head coach Ryan Saunders has been promoting all season.
Friday’s game didn’t end with the result the Wolves wanted, but the final quarter of their loss provided them with plenty to build on when they returned to practice on Monday.
