LOS ANGELES—Naz Reid hit six 3-pointers while scoring 31 points, and the Minnesota Timberwolves capitalized on LeBron James’ absence and Anthony Davis’ early exit with an eye injury for a 127–117 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday night.
Anthony Edwards added 26 points for the Timberwolves, whose seventh victory in nine games moved them even with Denver atop the NBA’s Western Conference at 54–24. Minnesota didn’t waste its golden opportunity to beat the surging Lakers, who played most of the night without their two superstars.
