It was expected that this team was gonna fall flat on a back-to-back stretch after putting on a show Saturday night against the Pelicans. However, I'm hearing a lot of stories that the officiating played a factor into this game. Lou Williams, consistent as usual, lead all Lakers in scoring, coming off the bench with 17 points, but that doesn't compare to Andrew Wiggins' performance. Wiggins' 47 point explosion helped the Timberwolves pull off a decisive 99-125 win against the purple and gold. Jordan Clarkson followed Sweet Lou with 14 points off the bench and Brandon Ingram added 10 points (glad to see he's okay after that injury on Saturday). Onto the starters, everybody was ice cold except Julius Randle and Luol Deng. Randle added 14 points despite a 5 turnover performance and Deng contributed 13 points (Deng is known for this kind of performance and he can be hot one game and cold on the other, but has been a non-factor in scoring until now).
Final Score: @ Minnesota 99-125 [L]
