The Minnesota Timberwolves came back from 18 points down to beat the Los Angeles Clippers in a game where James Harden became the no. 10 all-time scorer in the NBA.

The Timberwolves play spoiler to James Harden’s personal milestone.

Minnesota was able to pull through against the Los Angeles Clippers, taking the 109-106 win Sunday (PH time) at the Target Center.

The Wolves win came even as Harden scored 34 points to overtake Carmelo Anthony for 10th place in the NBA’s all-time scoring list.

Harden passed Anthony with his 21st point and ended the game with 28,303 career total. However, he missed the game-tying three in Los Angeles’ final possession.

The Clippers led by as many as 18 points but Minnesota charged late, finally retaking the lead in the fourth quarter.
