The Indiana Pacers defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves 109 - 103 Thursday at Target Center. The Pacers (23 - 22) came into Thursday's matchup as one of the worst road teams in the NBA, boasting a 6 - 16 record away from home. They were, however, able to end a three - game losing streak and pull this one out, but it did n't come without a few heroic offensive performances. Paul George led the way with a team - high 32 points, five assists and four rebounds in 37 minutes, while young star Myles Turner an efficient 23 points on 10 - of - 14 shooting from the field on top of six rebounds. But in the backcourt, point guard Jeff Teague put together one of the best all - around performances of his first season with the Pacers, scoring 20 points, dishing out 13 assists and grabbing what ended up being a team - high eight rebounds. The three ended up accounting for 75 of the team's 109 points, with no other Indiana player managing to score in double figures. In the end, the Pacers won the game through their play on the perimeter, with the team shooting an impressive 10 - of - 18 (56 percent) from downtown. As for the Timberwolves (17 - 29), the biggest issues they've faced all season - - poor defense and lack of depth - - surfaced in Thursday's contest. Despite getting three stellar performances from their three young stars, they got no help from any of their teammates, and no one could stop the Pacers' offensive attack. Karl-Anthony Towns finished with a game - high 33 points on top of 10 rebounds and four assists, while Zach LaVine added 23 points and Andrew Wiggins posted 21 of his own. Their Minnesota teammates, however, managed to score just 26 points, causing them to fall just short and putting their three - game win streak to an end. Up next, the Pacers will head home Friday to take on the Kings, while the Timberwolves will look to get back on the right track Saturday against the Nets.
