Timberwolves go to Towns in 109-103 win vs. Warriors

As Minnesota's measuring-stick matchup with Golden State hung in the balance, the Timberwolves turned the game over to Karl-Anthony Towns. Towns helped Minnesota stop a season-high three-game losing streak with 31 points and 16 rebounds, and the Timberwolves powered their way past Golden State down the stretch for a 109-103 victory on Sunday to hand the Warriors their second straight defeat without star Stephen Curry. ''Obviously it's humbling, just that they respect the work I put into my craft,'' said Towns, who had 14 points in the fourth quarter.
