Minnesota Timberwolves swingman Andrew Wiggins had the best night of his young career Sunday, pouring in 47 points on 14-for-21 shooting in a 125-99 win over the Los Angeles Lakers. His previous career high was 36 points.

Wiggins has shown significant improvement when it comes to ballhandling and shooting, and this is a continuation of that. He hit a couple of jumpers early then relentlessly attacked the basket. By halftime, Wiggins had 25 points, but he kept up his intensity.
