Karl-Anthony Towns scored 16 of his 30 points in the fourth quarter to help the Minnesota Timberwolves beat the Los Angeles Lakers 124-104 on Wednesday night.
Anthony Edwards had 20 of his 27 points in the second quarter to lead the early surge by the Timberwolves, who never trailed on their way to their ninth victory in 10 games. They stayed within 1 1/2 games of Denver for sixth place in the Western Conference.
LeBron James, playing through knee soreness, had just 19 points to lead the Lakers. They fell to 5-16 in their last 21 games on the first stop of this four-game trip. James had 111 points over the last three games. According to ESPN, this is also the first time in James’ career that his team has trailed by 25 or more points in three straight games. The Lakers are only one game ahead of 10th-place New Orleans, precariously close to the cut for the play-in tournament.
The Timberwolves fed off another lively crowd that has become more and more common this winter as they’ve come into their own on the court. With a 31-17 lead, they held the Lakers under 20 first-quarter points for the second time this season.
