With the assistance of a little energy throughout the building at Shaq night, the Los Angeles Lakers sent this game into overtime, before handedly beating the Minnesota Timberwolves 130-119. Jordan Clarkson scored a career-high 35 points, while draining another career-best eight three-pointers.
After the game, Clarkson talks about how his recent shooting struggles helped to motivate him to kick it into another gear. Head coach Luke Walton said it seemed like Clarkson got that ‘spark’ back that had been missing in the past few games and is also asked about his play alongside D’Angelo Russell in the starting lineup.
Forward Larry Nance Jr. got clobbered in the face, and actually has a teammate to blame for it! Plus, Nance Jr. talks about how neat it was to hear all the fans chanting his name throughout the stands, especially with it being Shaquille O’Neal’s big night.
