Wolves defeat Thunder in battle for first in West, look like themselves again

Just after closing the books on their worst week of the season, the Timberwolves looked like themselves again.

Even without veteran guard Mike Conley, and despite fourth-quarter troubles all month long, the Wolves executed down the stretch and came away with an impressive 107-101 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday night.

The Wolves used a 9-0 run inside of three minutes to pull away for the victory, with almost everyone who played coming up with a big contribution. All five starters had double figures, led by Anthony Edwards with 27 points and Karl-Anthony Towns with 21.
