Breaking: The Lakers scored seven of the first nine points in overtime Tuesday night to turn back the Timberwolves, earning the No. 7 seed in the NBA playoffs and a date with the Memphis Grizzlies.
With 28 games left in their season, Schroder said the team’s mindset was to win at least 19 — that would be the number the Lakers would need to make it into the playoffs.
One more win, anywhere in the season, would’ve meant the Lakers were the No. 6 seed in the West. Maybe it was a whistle in Boston, a made free throw in Philadelphia, better rotations against the Pacers or the Mavericks — any of it — and the Lakers wouldn’t have been in this position.Down 15 in the second half, the Lakers looked like they had won the game on Dennis Schroder’s three-point shot.
Minnesota scored just 12 points in the fourth and four points in overtime as the Lakers came back to earn their way into the playoffs.Karl-Anthony Towns and Mike Conley led Minnesota with 24 and 23 points, respectively. Towns had 13 rebounds and Conley had eight, each contributed five assists. Kyle Anderson had a game-high 13 assists in the loss. Anthony Edwards was held to nine points, making only three of 17 shots while missing all nine three-point attempts.
