LeBron James of the LA Lakers

LeBron James had a game-high 30 points to lead the LA Lakers to a 108-102 overtime win over the Minnesota Timberwolves. James also had 10 rebounds and six assists and went 12-for-21 from the field and 3-for-6 from beyond the arc.

Anthony Davis added 24 points, 15 rebounds, four assists, two steals and three blocks but had a bone-headed play at the end of regulation. Nevertheless, Davis had a good game and was one of the reasons why the Lakers got the win.

Dennis Schroder came off the bench to score 21 points, with Rui Hachimura got 12 points of his own. Austin Reaves struggled with his shot all game but the LA Lakers player contributed 12 points, six rebounds and three assists.

Meanwhile, Karl-Anthony Towns had 24 points, 11 rebounds, five assists and three blocks. Towns was hot at the start of the game but was limited in the fourth quarter after getting into foul trouble. The Lakers also tightened their defense on the Timberwolves star towards the end of the game.

Mike Conley contributed 23 points, four rebounds, three assists and three steals. Anthony Edwards didn't have a great game, scoring just nine points after going 3-for-17 from the field. He did add eight rebounds and five assists but could have had a much better outing.
