The Minnesota Timberwolves (9 - 12) survived a comeback attempt from the Los Angeles Lakers (3 - 19) to win in overtime, 123 - 122, Wednesday night at the Target Center to break a four - game losing streak. Lakers guard D'Angelo Russell nailed a seven - foot running two - point basket to send the game into overtime tied at 114 - 114, but it was n't enough. Timberwolves point guard Ricky Rubio scored or assisted on seven of Minnesota's nine overtime points to help lead the way as they managed to finish what they started in the final five minutes. Kevin Martin went off for a season - high 37 points fueled by a brilliant 6 - 9 shooting night from three - point land to lead the Timberwolves. Rookie sensation Karl-Anthony Towns filled the statsheet once again, as he scored 26 points and hauled in 14 rebounds, five of them coming on the offensive end. Ricky Rubio scored just five points and did n't make a field goal, but his 12 assists and nine rebounds were key, as was his overtime production. Russell scored 23 points in 32 minutes off the bench to lead the Lakers. Louis Williams was the high - scoring starter with 19 (7 - 11 shooting) and Julius Randle tallied a double - double with 20 points and 12 rebounds. Kobe Bryant suffered another poor shooting night (5 - 13) and managed just 11 points. The Lakers next face the Spurs on Friday in San Antonio. Minnesota plays next on the road Friday in Denver.
