GAME RECAP
Impact player
DeAndre Jordan, Clippers
Just another 18-point, 16-rebound night for the defensive-minded center, who made enough of his free throws when the Wolves started hacking him late.
By the Numbers
56-38 The Wolves' advantage in points in the paint, but they lost the battle of fast-break points 21-10.
6 Games this season in which Wolves center Karl-Anthony Towns has scored 20 or more points. He had 24.
15 Season-high points for Clippers defensive stopper and former Wolves forward Luc Mbah a Moute, who also made two three-pointers.
