RecapLaMelo Ball tallied 20 points (6-of-11 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), two rebounds, six assists, three steals, one block and four three-pointers in Wednesday’s win over the Rockets.
After recording nearly as many turnovers (six) as points (eight) in the first three quarters of Wednesday’s game, Ball rose to the occasion in the fourth. Shooting 4-of-4 from the field and 2-of-3 from the foul line, the Timberwolves point guard scored 12 points in the fourth quarter. With Anthony Edwards (knee) out, the Timberwolves need Ball to be consistently efficient, and he’s been solid this week.
