SAN FRANCISCO – In his first game back, Karl-Anthony Towns helped rescue the Wolves with two free throws that won the game late.
Towns had a repeat performance in Sunday with a game-winning three with 9.9 seconds left to lift the Wolves to a 99-96 victory over Golden State. Towns nailed a three from the left of the top of the key following a Kyle Anderson steal to give the Wolves a 98-96 lead. Moments earlier, Towns hit a three to put the Wolves up 94-93. It came after he struggled most of the night offensively (5-for-16).
The Wolves defense forced a turnover from Jordan Poole following Towns' three and Stephen Curry airballed a potential tying three at the buzzer.
