The Los Angeles Lakers and Minnesota Timberwolves squared battle at the Target Center on Thursday night.

Though the game was close, the Timberwolves managed to gain the upper hand, winning 118-111.

Leading the Timberwolves with 27 points, five rebounds, and seven assists was Anthony Edwards.

Even though the Lakers were missing LeBron James, Anthony Davis was still able to have an incredible performance.

In 39 minutes of action, Davis finished with 31 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 blocks, and an 11/20 field goal percentage and 1/1 three-point shooting percentage.

Following the match, Davis addressed the media and made a daring declaration (source: Spectrum SportsNet).

Davis: “Losing is awful. No moral triumphs, no pity parties for us. We just need to work things out; we’re not feeling sorry for ourselves.”

With 27 games played, Davis has shot 54.6% from the field and is averaging 24.3 points, 12.4 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.1 steals, and 2.6 blocks. This is an outstanding season for Davis.

The Lakers, who had been 15-14 in their previous 29 games, now sit as the tenth seed in the Western Conference after the setback.

They have lost four straight games and have a record of 4-6 over the past ten games.

The Lakers will now travel to Oklahoma City to play the Thunder on Saturday night after the Timberwolves.

In the 16 games they have played away from Los Angeles, California, they have a 5-11 record on the road.
