Sorry for the delayed blog, running late on Pacific time out here on the second part of back-to-back games...

The Wolves went with the same starting lineup tonight against the Clippers in their second game in LA in three days after a quick trip to Portland and back.

That means Andrew Wiggins again was in the starting lineup. He said he was feeling much better -- "thank you" -- tonight than Sunday in Portland, where he received IVs before the game and played just 18 minutes because he was ill.

The Clippers are back for the first time from a seven-game trip in which they went 6-1.

The Wolves are headed home tomorrow morning from this three-game trip with a dangerous meeting Wednesday at Target Center against Philadelphia, which will be trying to avoid tying a NBA record for most consecutive losses to start a season. They are 0-17 now after losing to San Antonio tonight.

The Wolves did little to slow a New Orleans offense driven by Zion Williamson, who put his team ahead for good with 35.5 seconds left.
