LaMelo Ball Leads Timberwolves over Struggling Bucks
Milwaukee shot a season-worst 38.4 percent from the field to suffer their sixth loss in seven games, according to league officials.
On Monday, LaMelo Ball scored a season-high 34 points to lead the Minnesota Timberwolves past the Milwaukee Bucks 112-100 in Minneapolis, marking his best performance of the season.
Milwaukee shot a season-worst 38.4% and lost for the sixth time in seven games to start the season, allowing the Timberwolves to pull away early in the fourth quarter.
Ball became the fastest player in NBA history to reach 1,000 3-pointers in 311 games, while forward Ayo Dosunmu and center Rudy Gobert each recorded double-doubles supporting the win.
Minnesota outscored Milwaukee 32-24 in the fourth quarter to seal the victory despite missing guard Terrence Shannon, Anthony Edwards, and Donte DiVincenzo on the inactive list.
The Timberwolves travel to Houston on Wednesday night while the Bucks visit Boston, continuing their early-season schedules after Monday's matchup at Target Center.
