Wednesday’s game against the Memphis Grizzlies wasn’t always pretty for Karl-Anthony Towns and the Minnesota Timberwolves. But as time expired in overtime, they got the result they needed.
With the score tied and time running down, Andrew Wiggins put up a shot and missed. Towns grabbed the offensive rebound with just enough time to hit a turnaround jumper as time expired.
