Regulation wasn’t enough for the Timberwolves and Knicks on Thursday night at Madison Square Garden. It took overtime for Minnesota to beat the New York Knicks 95-92.
It was the Wolves first overtime victory of the season and just their 15th victory of the year.
Knicks. Timberwolves. Overtime. It was destiny

Kevin Martin led the Wolves in scoring for the second straight night. With 22 points, he was one of three Wolves players with 20 or more on the night. Zach LaVine and Andrew Wiggins each had 20. Gorgi Dieng had a double-double with 19 points and 11 rebounds.
Gorgui is the 11th Wolves player to notch a double-double with 6+ blocks, the first since Darko vs Lakers 11/19/10. http://t.co/RQFfUrAeEg

The “Bounce Brothers” (Wiggins & LaVine) even got to show off some of their highlight reel ability.
