Timberwolves nip Golden State 131-130 after late foul

Wolves

Karl-Anthony Towns had a rough night, but sank the game-winning free throws with under a second remaining.

In the end, the Wolves caught a break.

After squandering leads both at the end of regulation and in overtime, the Wolves got a call and a win.

Trying to inbound the ball with 0.5 seconds left after Stephen Curry’s three had tied the game, Karl-Anthony Towns was fouled on the play. He went to the line and made one of two free throws with that half-second still remaining to give the Wolves a 131-130 victory over the defending champion Golden State Warriors in front of a sellout crowd at Target Center on Friday night.
