GAME RECAP

Impact player

Karl-Anthony Towns, Wolves

His 37-point, 10-rebound double-double included a clutch three-pointer with 29 seconds left and a defensive play on the perimeter as the clock ticked out that forced Bradley Beal into a bad pass that Jeff Teague stole to ensure victory.

By the Numbers

7 Wolves forward Nemanja Bjelica's career-high assists.

72.2 Timberwolves' shooting in the fourth quarter: 13-for-18 from the field, 71.4 (5-for-7) from three-point range.

30 Karl-Anthony Towns' career 30-point, 10-rebound games. Since Towns entered the NBA, only Anthony Davis (57), DeMarcus Cousins (45) and Russell Westbrook (45) have more such games.

19-1 Run by the Wolves in the fourth quarter to turn a 97-88 deficit into a 105-98 advantage.
