It was a big night for Minnesota's three young 20 point per game scorers on Monday, as all three scored in the 20s once again. Reigning Rookie of the Year Karl-Anthony Towns led the team with 22 points on perfect shooting. Towns went 8 - of - 8 from the field with three three - pointers and shot a perfect 3 - of - 3 at the free - throw line. Meanwhile, Zach LaVine and Andrew Wiggins scored 21 points each. LaVine had six of the Timberwolves' 15 three - pointers. As a whole, the team shot a respectable 45 percent. Atlanta shot just 42 percent and turned the ball over 19 times, two issues that contributed to the Hawks falling behind early in the game. Center Dwight Howard traded blows with Towns, scoring 20 points on perfect shooting himself. However, the effort was not enough to carry the struggling Hawks to victory, as the team hit only eight threes and made just 70 percent of its free - throws.
