Cities and another dagger. This wasn’t Karl-Anthony Towns’ best game, but the Timberwolves star just made his mark with a pivotal 103-94 three-pointer that may have decided the game. Three minutes left.
TRoy Brown with two very important triples. Troy Brown appeared with two consecutive triples to keep the Lakers from giving up: they fell with a score of 96-90 with five minutes left.
Mistakes punish the Lakers. Without a LeBron James as much of a star as they need and with the losses never ending, the Lakers allowed Minnesota their first double-digit lead of the night: 94-84 with 5:42 left.
Prince and a key three-pointer early in the fourth quarter. The Lakers had their chances to tie, but they didn’t capitalize on them in a moment of chaos and it all ended with Prince hitting his second 3-pointer of the game, 86-80 giving the Timberwolves some breathing room with nine minutes left. to play.

Again Minnesota escapes. The Timberwolves lead 70-61 after Anthony Edwards’ second 3-pointer of the night. 18 points for him in the game, four and a half minutes into the third period.
Edwards, a lifeguard for the Timberwolves. Minnesota trailed the Lakers for the first time since the start of the game, but came out on top with a great pass from Anthony Edwards, a leader in a game in which Towns still doesn’t weigh much on offense. 61-57 for the locals after four and a half minutes of the third quarter.
Tie game at half time. Some Lakers playing with urgency closed the first half on a 7-0 run, with five points from LeBron and two from Westbrook, and the game was tied at 52 at halftime. Still under 40% shooting from the field and already with 11 turnovers, the Angels manage to compete, with a good LeBron and a rising Westbrook.

D’Angelo Russell and LeBron James, the keys to this second quarter. Both D-Lo and LeBron are already the game’s leading scorers, with 11 points each. The one of the Timberwolves with their three-pointers, the one of the Lakers aggressive against the rim. Minnesota’s lead is between 5 and 7 points with 3 minutes left in the half.
Nice job by Minnesota’s second unit. With Jaylen Nowell and Taurean Prince leading the way in this game without Kyle Anderson, the Timberwolves bench put together a 7-4 run to pull a little further away from the Lakers.
The first quarter is for the Timberwolves. Minnesota wins 28-25 after the first 12 minutes, with 6 points in Gobert, Russell and Edwards. 52% success in the fields for the locals compared to 36% for the visitors.

The Lakers turned up the intensity. After the Timberwolves’ big moment, the Lakers rallied with a 13-7 run to get back into the game. A lot of energy was contributed by his substitutes, with Westbrook, Gabriel and Reaves.
The Timberwolves begin to escape. Good early run for the locals, 10-19 with a Rudy Gobert doing damage in the paint, while Russell and McDaniels already hit 3-pointers.

LeBron, very active at first. Without Anthony Davis and with Russell Westbrook as a replacement, LeBron James has to carry these Lakers on offense and that’s how we see it from the start, already with 5 points.
The match has begun.
