Rick Adelman: 'Chris Paul took over'

Rick Adelman has said that Chris Paul took over in the Minnesota Timberwolves' loss to the Los Angeles Clippers last night.

The point guard scored 12 points in a row late in the game to secure the win for the visitors.

The Timberwolves' head coach told reporters: "It's a tough loss. Chris Paul took over in the fourth quarter and made a lot of big plays. Our guys battled, but there were too many spurts by them.

"Too many spurts at the start of the game, at the start of the second quarter, at the end of the second quarter. They had these spurts where they go up ten. It's hard to come back from that."

The Timberwolves play the Brooklyn Nets tomorrow.
