And James hailed his Lakers team-mates after beating Minnesota, claiming it’s their best defensive performance of the season so far.

“We defended the whole fourth quarter,” he said.

“They [Timberwolves] made some shots.

“If we get any closer on them we foul them. We did one time, we gave a four-point play up to Jimmy [Butler].

“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.”

The Lakers are back in action on Sunday evening against the Sacramento Kings.
