Clippers rally from 20 down to beat Timberwolves. MORE:
Ivica Zubac had 14 points and 14 rebounds for Los Angeles, which also won at Minnesota on Wednesday night. The Clippers have won three straight after losing four of their first five.
“The key was, man, we came out third quarter flat once again,” Edwards said. “We came out flat, but we’re struggling right now, man. It’s tough right now because we’re struggling. We’re playing good sometimes. We have spurts of playing good, then we play bad and don’t pick it up. It’s tough.” Minnesota’s shooting waned in the third as the offense became stagnant and reliant on quick 3s early in possessions. The T’Wolves’ defense also slipped, opening the door for LA.
Jackson was the catalyst as the Clippers used a 10-0 run in the third to take their first lead since scoring the first three points of the game. “I think that can be our kind of identity this year, being a defensive team,” Zubac said. “We know without Kawhi , it’s going to be tougher to win games. But if we can get stops and we can get out and run more, get open shots, we give ourselves a better chance to win.”Los Angeles held a decided advantage at the free-throw line, making 26 of 32 attempts. Minnesota, meanwhile, had seven opportunities and made five.
