The Washington Wizards (30 - 30) earned a road win over the Minnesota Timberwolves (19 - 42) Wednesday at Target Center, 104 - 98. The Timberwolves built up a 21 - 9 first quarter lead, but it quickly evaporated as the Wizards closed the gap to three by the end of the quarter and continued to press their advantage into the second quarter as they took a 60 - 54 halftime lead. The Wolves never led in the second half, as they pulled to a 77 - 77 tie with 1:28 to go in the third quarter, but the Wizards ended the period with an 80 run and never looked back. Bradley Beal came off the bench to score a game - high 26 points for the Wizards (10 - 15 FG, 3 - 4 3PT, 3 - 5 FT). Alan Anderson, another bench guard, added 18 points in an extremely efficient 20 minutes (6 - 9 FG, 4 - 7 3PT). John Wall had a poor shooting night (6 - 18 FG) but made up for it with a 14 - point, 12 - assist double - double. The Wizards only grabbed five offensive rebounds but did n't need second chance points the way their offense was humming, as they shot 50 percent from the floor and 11 - 29 (38 percent) from three. Ricky Rubio poured in 22 points (6 - 14 FG, 2 - 3 3PT, 8 - 9 FT) to lead the Timberwolves but managed just three assists against six turnovers. Zach LaVine added 21 (7 - 18 FG, 2 - 5 3PT, 5 - 5 FT), Andrew Wiggins scoed 17 (6 - 11 FG, 5 - 6 FT), and Karl-Anthony Towns notched a double - double with 14 points and 15 rebounds. Minnesota had a mammoth 20 - point advantage at the free throw line (29 - 34, 85 percent as a team) but could n't find their shot anywhere else on the floor (43 percent from the field). The Wizards continue their road trip Friday in Cleveland. The Timberwolves begin a road trip Friday against the Bucks.
