RecapLaMelo Ball delivered 24 points (10-of-20 FGs), three rebounds, five assists and two steals over 30 minutes to propel the Timberwolves to a 115-100 victory over the Jazz on Sunday.
Ball attempted 11 shots in the first half and finished with 20 overall, continuing to assume a larger offensive role for Minnesota with franchise cornerstone Anthony Edwards sidelined while recovering from arthroscopic surgery on his right knee. The polarizing 25-year-old guard has eclipsed 20 points in five of his last six games since October 30. The Timberwolves have just two games next week with both coming at home against the Mavericks and Bulls, respectively.
