The Minnesota Timberwolves played a solid all-around game and surged ahead in the fourth quarter to defeat the Miami Heat.
The Minnesota Timberwolves played without Karl-Anthony Towns on Tuesday and Wednesday and were blown out twice.
Towns played on Friday night, and the Wolves were an entirely different team, winning the fourth quarter by a 31-18 margin and defeating the defending Eastern Conference Champion Miami Heat.
The Wolves got off to a slow start as they struggled to slow down Jimmy Butler and what is typically a mediocre Heat offense.
