Wolves claw out 97-92 victory over Dallas
Timberwolves guard Jimmy Butler donned his fourth-quarter cape again.
Butler scored 10 of his 22 points in the fourth quarter as the Wolves clawed out a 97-92 victory over Dallas at Target Center Sunday night.
It gave the Wolves (16-11) their first winning streak since Nov. 17, and started off a five-game home stand the right way.
It was the second time this season the Wolves have won a game when not scoring 100 points. They are now 2-5 in those games.
Karl-Anthony Towns finished with 28 points and 12 rebounds. Butler added six rebounds and five assists. Jamal Crawford scored 16, including two free throws with 16.4 seconds left that put the Wolves up three points.
