Wiggins has started out the new month red-hot, scoring 30 points in back-to-back games.
After last season's stellar Rookie of the Year campaign, Wiggins has been even more impressive this year, averaging career-highs in points (20.6), field-goal percentage (44.5), and field-goals made (7.3).
The win snaps a five-game losing streak for the Timberwolves, who are now just one victory away from matching last season's total. It also ended a 14-game losing streak against the Clippers, which was the longest in the NBA against one opponent.
