LeBron James praises team-mates following warning after Timberwolves defeat

The much-improved Los Angeles Lakers beat the Timberwolves 114-110 last night at the Staples Center. LeBron James heaped praise on the Los Angeles Lakers’ rearguard for a season-best performance. “We defended the whole fourth quarter,” he said. “This is the most we’ve defended for 48 - close to 48 - minutes all year. It’s good that we did it against a very good team.”
