(SportsNetwork.com) - The teams with the worst records in the Western Conference square off Friday night when the Los Angeles Lakers welcome the Minnesota Timberwolves to Staples Center. Both teams are mired in three-game losing streaks. The Lakers havent won at home since Nov. 9 versus the Charlotte Hornets and the Timberwolves havent won on the road since Nov. 5 against the Brooklyn Nets. The Lakers fell to the ultra-tough Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday night, 99-93, in Hollywood. Kobe Bryant netted 22 points for Los Angeles, which has dropped seven of its last nine games. Jeremy Lin added 14 points, while Nick Young scored 13 for the second unit. Jordan Hill and Ronnie Hill both had 11 in the losing effort. Theyre one of the best defensive clubs in the league, Lakers coach Byron Scott said. We have to get better on the defensive end. Memphis is third in opponents scoring, while the Lakers are dead last at 110.8 ppg allowed. Just ahead of them is Minnesota, which allows opponents an average of 109.7. The T-Wolves fell by 17 at home on Wednesday to the Milwaukee Bucks in the battle of the first two picks in this past summers draft. Milwaukees Jabari Parker, the No. 2 selection out of Duke, had 11 points with seven rebounds, while the top pick, Andrew Wiggins, went for 14 points and eight boards. Corey Brewer paced the Timberwolves with 19 points in their 103-86 drubbing. It was the first time in NBA history that four teenagers played in the same game, with Minnesotas Wiggins and Zach LaVine both starting against Milwaukees Parker and Giannis Antetokounmpo. The T-Wolves didnt score a point over the final 2:40. We got a lot of guys playing roles that they arent accustomed to playing, Timberwolves coach Flip Saunders said. They put some pressure on, but as we fell behind, we lost any kind of motion. They locked in defensively. Thaddeus Young, who missed the past five games due to the death of his mother, scored three points on 1-of-10 shooting Minnesota is 0-10 when allowing 100 or more points. The Timberwolves won three of four last season against the Lakers and their victory on Nov. 10, 2013 halted a 22-game losing streak. Minny is 1-14 in its last 15 as the visitor in this series.

Matt Carkner got back into the Ottawa lineup, and made his presence felt right away by settling his clubs score in a one-sided fight with Rangers forward Brian Boyle.SPARTA, Ky. -- Ryan Blaney provided more evidence that Penske Racings No. 22 Ford can win no matter whos driving. Blaney earned his first Nationwide Series victory and another win for the teams Mustang, holding off Austin Dillon and surviving several late cautions to win Saturday nights 300-mile race at Kentucky Speedway. Blaney, who drives for Sprint Cup champion Brad Keselowski in the Camping World Truck Series, used his second start in the No. 22 to claim the cars 10th victory of 2013 and a season sweep at Kentucky. Keselowski drove the car to victory in June. Blaneys win included tense moments over the final 40 laps, from beating Dillon off pit road with a two-tire stop on lap 166 to reclaiming the lead from Dillon after losing it on the restart. More tests followed, including a near-brush with teammate Sam Hornish Jr.s loose Ford and one final restart. "We just had an awesome, awesome Mustang," Blaney said. "The team just kept getting the car better and better and as the race went on. Those restarts were tough. Luckily, I had a good enough car to hold them off." Matt Crafton was third, Hornish fourth and rookie Alex Bowman fifth in a Toyota. Dillon shaved two points off Hornishs series lead and trails by just 15 with six races remaining. Getting closer to Blaney was out of the question for Dillon and just about anyone in contention. Hornish gave it a shot late in the race before that late wiggle left him settling for his 21st top-five finish of the season. Dillon had hope on several restarts, only to let the son of NASCAR veteran Dave Blaney quickly snatch it away on several late restarts. The final one typified the futility: Blaney blasted out on lap 191 to open up a three car-length lead and didnt look back. "He did everything right," Dillon said of Blaneys restarts. "He did everything he could to hold me off and the car was better once he got out front for sure. I felt like if we couldve got out front we could hold him off for eight laps, but disappointed that we couldnt quite clear him." Hornish led 65 laps after starting on the pole, while Dillon led 32. Beating the Noo.dddddddddddd 22 has been tough for everybody this season. Three other drivers have reached victory lane in it this season, including Keselowski, whos racing in this weekends Cup series race in Loudon, N.H. Blaney, who won a Trucks race in Iowa last year, became the fourth in just his 15th start. Crew chief Jeremy Bullins kept him calm and focused over the radio, and the only direction he ever really needed was to victory lane after taking the checkered flag. The points race meanwhile saw little change. Hornish entered Saturday looking to widen his edge on Dillon, who came into the series final stand-alone race seeking his third Nationwide victory in four Kentucky starts. He helped his prospects Saturday afternoon by clocking 179.235 mph to claim his third pole this season and leading Penskes front-row sweep with Blaney (178.159) taking the outside spot. Dillon was close by in the third spot with a run of 178.042 mph in his Chevy. With Cup regulars racing this weekend in New Hampshire, 41 drivers had the track to themselves, and Nationwide contenders did their best to exploit the freedom. Hornish and Dillon in particular looked forward to racing all-out here, with the points leader especially eager to follow up Junes ninth-place run. After the start was delayed briefly to allow track dryers to blow away some weepers, Hornish went about proving how good his Mustang was. He led the first 65 laps before his teammate won the race off pit road during the third caution and led on the restart. Dillon was second and needed only a lap to move in front -- on lap 68 -- and add another chapter to his impressive Kentucky resume. He led the next 32 laps before Blaney took the first of two leads to establish himself as the best driver in the best car. "Im a pretty lucky guy and privileged to have the drivers we have," Bullins said. "I dont think we have any slouches, so I dont have any complaints about my driver lineup. Ive got it pretty good. Tonight was another example of that. "We brought a good car, and we got somebody driving that knows what to do with it and was able to get the job done." ' ' '
