The Minnesota Timberwolves (4 - 10) defeated the Los Angeles Lakers (3 - 13) 120 - 119 on Friday. Minnesota ended their three - game losing streak with this win. Mo Williams (illness) returned to action after a one - game absence to put up 25 points and 11 assists in 30 minutes. Zach LaVine moved back to a bench role, but that did n't stop him from having the best game of his rookie career. He put up a game - high 28 points in 26 minutes. Thaddeus Young coaxed the Lakers' Nick Young into fouling him with 3 seconds left and the game tied. Young stepped to the line and missed his first free throw before sinking the second to secure the win for the Timberwolves. Minnesota's next game is on the road against the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday. Los Angeles has lost four straight games. Kobe Bryant put up a last - second shot to try and steal the game after Young's free throws, but he missed the mark. The Lakers were terrific on offense, shooitng 54 percent from the field, but they did n't have the defense to stop the injury - depleted Timberwolves. They allowed Minnesota to shoot 57 percent from the field and 56 percent from beyond the arc. The Lakers will host the Toronto Raptors on Sunday.
