Timberwolves Win in New Orleans

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Karl-Anthony Towns had 30 points and 15 rebounds, Andrew Wiggins hit two free throws with 3.6 seconds left and the Minnesota Timberwolves rallied to beat the short-handed New Orleans Pelicans 112-110 on Saturday night.

Zach LaVine added 25 points on 11-of-17 shooting, including a 3-pointer with 2:43 left that gave the Timberwolves their first lead since the first quarter.

The Pelicans tied the score at 110 on two free throws by Eric Gordon with 12.2 seconds remaining. Wiggins, who was only 5 for 15 from the floor, then drove to the basket and drew a foul from Gordon.

Gordon and Ryan Anderson scored 31 points each for New Orleans, which played without All-Star forward Anthony Davis after he sprained his right big toe in pregame warm-ups. The Pelicans dropped to 1-6 in games Davis has missed.
