The Minnesota Timberwolves defeated the Los Angeles Clippers 109–106 on December 6 at Target Center in a defensive battle that fell short of the Vegas total of 227.5. Jalen McDaniels led Minnesota with 27 points while Julius Randle added 24, as the Timberwolves shot 50 percent from the field and made 11 three-pointers. James Harden paced the Clippers with 34 points and Kawhi Leonard contributed 20, but Los Angeles's 47.1 percent shooting and nine made threes proved insufficient. The decisive moment came in the fourth quarter, when Minnesota outscored Los Angeles 37–28, overcoming a strong first-quarter performance by the Clippers, who scored 34 points in the opening frame. Minnesota's defense held the Clippers to a 110.4 offensive rating while the Timberwolves generated a 121.2 mark on the other end, the difference-maker in a three-point contest. Both teams grabbed 35 rebounds, but Minnesota's 23 assists versus Los Angeles's 16 reflected better ball movement. The Timberwolves' fourth-quarter execution suggests improving late-game composure as the season progresses.
