However, that did not stop Beverley as he continued his antics by switching to Russell Westbrook’s signature rock the baby celebration. Despite being traded away, Beverley has stayed a Clipper at heart. Even after the Timberwolves’ first win over the Lakers, he said that LA is a Clippers town. Hence, it is clear where Beverley’s heart is.
With the game, the Timberwolves look to go 2-0 against the Lakers this season. Despite not having Anthony Edwards, Karl Anthony Towns is dominating the game. He has accumulated 23 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 blocks at the half. D’Angelo Russell has added 11 points to the mix as well.
On the other hand, no Laker has crossed the double-digit mark yet. Russell Westbrook and Carmelo Anthony are leading the scoring with 8 points each. LeBron James has taken just 5 shots so far scoring 7 points. Both teams are shooting poor from downtown, but the Wolves have kept their own in this game so far.
