Third-quarter burst helps Timberwolves beat New Orleans 111-102

NEW ORLEANS — After losing to Houston, coach Chris Finch summed up his team by saying they were capable of beating anybody and losing to anybody.

So naturally, two nights after losing to the worst team in league, the Wolves regrouped for a 111-102 victory over the Pelicans, a team that has been above them in the standings most of the season.

The Wolves are one of the worst third-quarter teams in the NBA, but they came out with a purpose after being down 52-46 at the half.

Anthony Edwards was 5-for-8, which included three three-pointers and the Wolves had one of their most impressive short bursts of the season with a 15-0 run that put them ahead 75-61.
