Wolves Battle Back In Fourth, Beat Wizards On Road

The Wolves trailed by eight to the Wizards in Washington entering the fourth quarter on Tuesday night.

They trailed by as much as 10 with 10 minutes left.

Without All-Star Jimmy Butler, and on the road against a playoff team, this one was probably over, right?

Normally when people ask that question in an article, the answer is the opposite. That's the case here.

Minnesota outscored the Wizards 34-21 in the final 12 minutes to come away with a 116-111 win. In the fourth, Karl-Anthony Towns and Nemanja Bjelica combined for five 3-pointers. Towns finished with seven points in the final frame.
