MINNEAPOLIS — After three days of rest, the Timberwolves came out on Sunday night looking like they were still fast asleep against the Mavericks.
Well, except for Karl-Anthony Towns. KAT went to work early against rookie forward Maximilian Kleber, carrying the load in the first half as the Wolves looked like they were still trying to wake up from the extra time off. Towns couldn’t be contained by the Mavericks undersized frontcourt and finished with 28 points and 12 rebounds to secure his league-leading 21st double-double.
In the fourth, Jimmy Butler once again took control of the game, scoring 10 of his 22 points.
