LOS ANGELES – It's been a tough start scoring-wise for Mike Conley in his tenure with the Timberwolves.
But when the Wolves badly needed buckets Friday night, Conley delivered to lift the Wolves to a 110-102 victory over the Lakers.
Conley hit a needed three to put the Wolves six with 1 minute, 13 seconds to play. Then he iced the game with a runner in the lane to put the Wolves up eight with 43.1 seconds left.
The Wolves held on despite nearly losing a 14-point lead in the fourth quarter. The Lakers cut it to three multiple times, but Conley prevented them from coming all the way back.
