(SportsNetwork.com) - The teams with the worst records in the Western Conference square off Friday night when the Los Angeles Lakers welcome the Minnesota Timberwolves to Staples Center.

Jeremy Lin added 14 points, while Nick Young scored 13 for the second unit. Jordan Hill and Ronnie Hill both had 11 in the losing effort. Theyre one of the best defensive clubs in the league, Lakers coach Byron Scott said. We have to get better on the defensive end.
