The Los Angeles Lakers ( 10 - 41 ) defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves ( 14 - 36 ) 119 - 115 on Tuesday night . Los Angeles carried a 10 - game losing streak into this game , but walked away with a much needed win . Both offenses were extremely efficient , as they both shot over 50 percent from the field . The 66 - point first half marked the highest - scoring first half for the Lakers all season and it set a great precedent , as they carried a 14 - point lead into the half . The Timberwolves shot 58 percent from the field and nearly came back in the second half , but simply got too far down to revive themselves . A key statistic was the turnover differential , as the Wolves committed 15 turnovers to the Lakers nine . The Timberwolves had one of their best offensive performances of the season , but still could n't pull out a win . They have now lost 20 games in their last 23 with this defeat . They actually shot well over 55 percent from the field in this game and recorded 36 assists on 46 made buckets , so the defense really let them down . Andrew Wiggins was scorching hot , as he scored 30 points before fouling out in the final seconds . Ricky Rubio had a nice game as well , as he dished out 15 assists to go along with 10 points . Minnesota has a quick turnaround , as they play the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday in their next game . An 11 - game losing streak would have been a franchise record for the Lakers , so there was a bit extra motivation in this matchup . Kobe Bryant was questionable coming in , but he may have had his best game of the season . Not only did he hit a bunch of clutch free - throws late , Bryant finished with a season - high 38 points while also recording five rebounds and five assists in the win . Julius Randle also played well , as he recorded 15 points and 12 rebounds en route to yet another double - double . Up next for the Lakers is a game against the New Orleans Pelicans on Thursday .
