The 24 rebounds for Anthony Davis are the most by a Laker since Dwight Howard had 26 on Jan. 6, 2013. Davis needs two more to match his career high of 26. LAL lead 114-102 with 3:41 to play.

LeBron finds AD... AND-1 💪 LA's on a 26-6 run on ESPN 👀 https://t.co/ozsNjDo2LE
Naz misses the hook shot (he's got 4 points in the second half) and Reaves hits the corner 3. Lakers up 16. Wolves just don't have an answer for Davis (27p, 23r, 7s, 3b). Both of their answers are sitting on the bench in street clothes right now.
Anthony Davis now has 12 career 20-point, 20-rebound games, including tonight. He has 27 points + 23 boards after yet another put-back, coming off his 10th offensive board against the shorthanded Wolves. AD's keyed LAL's 4th Q takeover, as a Reaves 3 pushes the lead to 112-96.
Anthony Davis now trying to get a 6x5, with "times rejected at the rim" the next cateogry
An AD-led push has LAL back up by 8 at 102-94 with 8:59 to play. He has 22 points, 18 boards, 5 assists, 7 steals and 3 blocks in 32 minutes, doing a lot of work all by himself, with 7 offensive rebounds. All 13 of his FGA's have come in the paint.
LA opens the fourth quarter on an 11-2 run. They're up by eight, 102-94, with 8:59 left. Timeout Wolves.

Naz Reid takes the bump and gets it to go off the glass! He leads the Timberwolves with 23 points on ESPN 🔥 https://t.co/YktsyPeuZ2
AD's up to a career-high 7 steals.
LAL opened a 13-point lead with a good push to start the 3rd Q, but then gave up B2B 3's to Alexander-Walker around LAL's 15th turnover, plus a Warren floater to cap an 8-0 spurt that trimmed LAL's lead to 5.
Anthony Davis is already just 2 blocks away from a 5x5 game: 15 points, 9 boards, 5 assists, 5 steals and 3 blocks in his 20 minutes with 8:25 to play in the 3rd Q.
Naz Reid is the first Wolves player with 20+ in the first half besides Towns and Edwards this season, per @Twolves_PR . Might need another 25 in the second half.
Anthony Davis gets three blocks and he gets a 5x5.
Lakers had 69 points in the first half vs Minnesota. https://t.co/HEqLNdscAu

Very entertaining first half that the Lakers lead 69-68. Both teams have 26 FG makes, Wolves have 10 extra shot attempts. Naz Reid with 21 points to lead all scorers. Davis and Hachimura with 15 for the Lakers.
LAL 69, MIN 68 at the half. Wolves are 10-24 from 3. Reid has 21. Edwards hasn't shot it well, but doing a lot out there: 10 pts, 6r, 5a. We'll see if the Lakers miss in the second half, because they didn't in the first.
After a thoroughly entertaining first half, it's Lakers 69, Wolves 68. Lakers are shooting 67%! Naz Reid with 21 points for the Wolves.
