INDIANAPOLIS – Those free throws missed late in games that seemingly have vexed the Timberwolves so often this season did so no more in Tuesday’s 115-114 comeback victory at Indiana.
Ricky Rubio’s three free throws with 3.4 seconds left were the difference on a night when the Wolves trailed by seven points with more than four minutes left.
Rubio’s shots after he was fouled attempting a three-point shot followed two consecutive free throws made by young Wolves star Karl-Anthony Towns, who brought his team within 114-112 with 40 seconds left.
Pacers guard Monte Ellis’ shot missed at the final buzzer.
