On Sunday, the Los Angeles Clippers defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves by a score of 89-88 in a game that was both physical and defensive. The game was played between two of the top four teams in the Western Conference. Kawhi Leonard scored 32 points for the Clippers.

A season-high 24 points were scored by Norman Powell, and Paul George added 15 points to the total. However, George shot only 5 of 16 from the field and was only 3 of 11 from beyond the arc.

Russell Westbrook suffered a fracture to his left hand during the Clippers’ home victory over Washington on Friday night. As a result, the Clippers were forced to play without him. After being sidelined for two games due to an illness, Ivica Zubac has made his return.

A total of 27 points were scored by Anthony Edwards for Minnesota. This is only the third time this season that the Timberwolves have suffered consecutive losses in a row.

The game was tied at 84 points apiece when Leonard made a basket with 2 minutes and one second left on the clock. He then added a free throw after Karl-Anthony Towns fouled him.

In the final minute and forty seconds of the game, Towns made a dunk that moved Minnesota within one point of the lead. However, Anthony Edwards missed a three-point shot, and Towns missed a jump shot. Finally, Leonard made a pair of free throws to end the game.
