MINNEAPOLIS — The Lakers came into Target Center without a win and had the league's worst offense. On top of that, they were without Anthony Davis, who missed the game because of lower back soreness.
Even with all the going in the Timberwolves' favor, Friday was still a brick-fest for most of the night.
The Wolves lacked the pacing they like on the offensive end most of the night but got key contributions from their best players in the second half of a 111-102 victory. Anthony Edwards (29 points) scored 16 in the third quarter to help the Wolves (4-2) break a tie at halftime and take a small lead headed into the fourth quarter.
