Los Angeles Clippers edge past Minnesota Timberwolves in overtime

The Los Angeles Clippers recovered from a late deficit to earn a 120-116 victory in overtime in their game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

It looked like Kevin Love, who scored 45 points, would lead the Timberwolves to the win when the visitors were leading by four with 18 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter.

However, Jamal Crawford made a layup before forcing overtime with a dunk in the closing stages after Kevin Martin had lost possession.

Chris Paul recorded 19 points and 13 assists, with his five late free-throws proving to be the difference between the two teams.

The Clippers have now won 12 of their 14 home games this season.
