GAME RECAP

Impact player

Tyus Jones, Wolves

The little-used point guard came off the bench and delivered a spark that changed the game. His six points, three assists and two steals didn't hurt, either.

By the NUMBERS

15 Wolves steals, a season high. The Suns committed 25 turnovers.

8 Karl-Anthony Towns' double-doubles this season after Friday's 22-point, 10-rebound game.

92 Wolves' free-throw shooting (23-for-25), their best of the season.
