While Dwight Howard scored 10 points and grabbed 11 rebounds.
2. LaVine’s shot goes awry
Zach LaVine has been locked on more times than not since the Timberwolves moved him into the starting lineup last month. But Friday night that wasn’t the case.
LaVine finished the night with 15 points and was 6-of-15 shooting, but LaVine was 3-of-12 until late in the fourth quarter.
3. Big night for Towns
Karl-Anthony Towns helped the Wolves stay in the game. KAT was a force inside with a double-double of his own. He finished with 32 points and grabbed 11 rebounds.
