2. Wiggins would’t give in
Andrew Wiggins led the Wolves, knocking down some big shots on his own. He finished with 28 points on 8-of-17 from the field.
Wiggins also got to the free throw line going 12-of-14 from the stripe.
His night also included a bucket with just over two seconds left to tie the game and eventually force overtime, but it just didn’t go Minnesota’s way in the closing seconds.
3. Wolves going to Towns
Karl-Anthony Towns is barely 10 games into his NBA career and he’s already becoming a go-to-guy for the Timberwolves.
Towns finished the game with 21 points and 12 rebounds for his sixth double-double in seven road games and his eighth of the season.
Lost in the chaos, that's double-double number 8 for Karl-Anthony Towns to start his career. 17 points, 10 rebounds and 4 blocks tonight.
