PORTLAND — A night after playing one of their best games of the season against one of the top teams in the Western Conference, the Timberwolves found themselves in a close one against one of the worst on Tuesday.
Early in the fourth, the Wolves lost what was once a double-digit lead. But thanks to one of the most impressive offensive outbursts during Nickeil Alexander-Walker's time in Minnesota, the Wolves turned a close game into a 121-109 victory.
Alexander-Walker hit four consecutive three-pointers in the fourth quarter, a moment the Wolves needed it most. He finished with 18 points, while Anthony Edwards, who sat during Alexander-Walker's hot streak, did the rest.
