Minnesota Lynx is set to take on LAC in NBA 2021-22 on Wednesday, 13 April 2022 at 07:00 AM IST
Currently in eighth place, the LA Clippers will head into this matchup against the Timberwolves on the back of a 138-88 blowout win against the OKC Thunder.
Meanwhile, the Minnesota Timberwolves ended their season on a poor note as they faced a 120-124 loss against the Chicago Bulls.
Although Minnesota will enjoy homecourt advantage for this matchup, the Clippers won the season-series 3-1. With LA playing in top form at this point in time, the matchup promises to be an exciting one.
LA Clippers
The LA Clippers finished their season with a bang as they notched five consecutive wins. With Paul George making a timely return to the side, the Clippers comfortably found themselves in eighth-place while competing for a playoff seeding.
Coming off a blowout win against the OKC Thunder, the Clippers saw Amir Coffey lead the side with 35-points on the night. With Reggie Jackson and Marcus Morris Sr. rested for the game, the Clippers showed off their depth as their offensive firepower overwhelmed the inexperienced Thunder team.
Minnesota Timberwolves
The Minnesota Timberwolves have been a wildly inconsistent team this season. However, the side managed to end their season strong regardless. Winning three of their last five games, the Timberwolves occupied seventh-place in the West.
With Karl-Anthony Towns and DAngelo Russell given the night off, the Timberwolves hoped for an early and easy win against the Bulls. However, an early ejection from Patrick Beverley forced Minnesota to go deep into their bench to find players.
