D'Lo Hits Game Winning Three vs. Timberwolves, Lakers Extend Win Streak

*Stats courtesy of NBA.com and Yahoo Sports*

D'Lo's got ice in his veins! I caught on with the conclusion of the game and the Staples Center roof would've exploded if MWP made that three for the lead (almost reminded me of the dagger 3 he hit in Game 7 vs. the Celtics in 2010). He missed. Luckily Randle gets a key offensive rebound, kicks it to D'Lo and the ball bounced back into the rim. Crazy ending. But, in a meaningless game, it's not going to sit well for the "pro-tankers." Relax, they're still on the border for that Top 3 pick. Now, let's get to the stats. Lakers might've found a gem in Tyler Ennis. Ennis was the Lakers' top scorer, pouring in probably his career high with 20 points to go with 5 assists off the bench in the Lakers' 109-110 win over the T'Wolves. Onto the starters, Jordan Clarkson lead the unit in scoring with 17 points. D'Angelo Russell had an off night, but finished with 16 points and as mentioned, hit the game winner to lift the Lakers to victory. Julius Randle added 13 points and 8 rebounds, Brandon Ingram racked up 10 points, and Larry Nance Jr. added a double-double of 10 points and 10 rebounds.

Final Score: vs. Minnesota 109-110 [W]
