Los Angeles Clippers vs Minnesota Timberwolves Final Score & Over/Under Result — Feb 8, 2026

Coming off a defensive low-scoring affair earlier this season—a 215-point total decided by three in favor of Minnesota—the Clippers and Timberwolves reunited Tuesday night and delivered an even more emphatic defensive statement. Los Angeles prevailed 115-96, combining for just 211 points, well short of the 222.5 market total.

The first half unfolded as a careful, grinding affair. Combined scoring reached only 96 through two quarters, with the Clippers holding a 54-42 edge in the second quarter alone to establish a narrow advantage at the break. Minnesota's recent scoring prowess (118.8 per game over its last ten) found little rhythm early, while Los Angeles—which had been outscored at 111.7 per game itself—leaned into a suffocating approach. Kawhi Leonard set the tone with a game-high 41 points, 8 rebounds, and 2 assists, anchoring the Clippers' second-half control. Julius Randle (17 pts, 8 reb, 2 ast) kept Minnesota within reach, but Anthony Edwards managed just 23 points on a quiet night for the Timberwolves' primary scoring engine.

The third quarter remained sluggish at 43 combined points, but a fourth-quarter surge to 72 combined points provided late offensive life—too little to threaten the outcome. Yanic Konan Niederhäuser (15 pts, 6 reb, 2 ast) and John Collins (15 pts, 4 reb, 0 ast) supplied secondary production for the victors. DAGGER leaned under, and it cashed decisively.
