True
The Clippers have been dominating with defense , but the offense was on display here . Not only did they shoot over 52 percent from the field , they had all five starters score at least 15 points . The Los Angeles starters outscored the Minnesota starters 90 - 74 . Despite the Timberwolves dominating the points in the paint , 56 - 38 , the Clippers dominated at the free - throw line and from the field . Blake Griffin is quietly having an MVP-type season , as his 20 points , 11 rebounds and four assists are almost identical to his season averages . Luc Richard Mbah a Moute is mainly a starter for defensive purposes , but when he scores 15 points like he did here , that 's an added bonus . Ricky Rubio made his return from a five - game absence due to an elbow injury , to accrue seven points , six rebounds and six assists in the defeat . The Los Angeles Clippers defeated the host Minnesota Timberwolves 119 - 105 at Target Center on Saturday . These are two teams headed in opposite directions and this result shows just where they 're headed . The Clippers were in control for the majority of the game , as there were only four ties and six lead changes . Los Angeles actually led for the entirety of the second half , as Minnesota never led by more than two points in the first half . The Clippers shot lights - out hitting 53 percent fro the field and 46 percent from three - point range . Los Angeles also took advantage of the whistle , going 28 - of - 37 from the free - throw line , with Minnesota taking just 21 free - throw attempts . The Clippers ( 9 - 1 ) are the hottest team in the NBA right now and they used a different recipe to win this one . All five starters were great , as they each scored 15 or more points in the win . Blake Griffin led the team , totaling 20 points , 11 rebounds and four assists . Chris Paul was n't far behind , finishing with 19 points , four rebounds and eight assists . DeAndre Jordan posted a monster double - double , scoring 18 points and grabbing 16 rebounds . The big man also went an efficient 10 - of - 16 from the free - throw line . The Clippers look likely to continue this success , as they host the Brooklyn Nets for their next game on Monday . The Timberwolves ( 2 - 6 ) have been one of the biggest disappointments this season and it 's a wonder when they 'll pull out of this hole . Ricky Rubio did return from an elbow injury in this game , as he accumulated seven points , six rebounds and six assists in the loss . Karl-Anthony Towns led the team in scoring , totaling 24 points , 10 rebounds , two blocks and two steals . Andrew Wiggins went just 8 - of - 24 from the field , but still scored 22 points . Zach LaVine was the only other player in double figures , accruing 15 points , three rebounds and four assists . The Timberwolves will look to get their third win on Sunday , when they host the Los Angeles Lakers for their next game .
