The Minnesota Timberwolves defeated the Orlando Magic, 111 - 105, in overtime Monday at Target Center. The Timberwolves (19 - 29), now winners of five of their last six, actually found themselves down for most of Monday's game before opening up a lead in the fourth quarter as large as nine points. The Magic (19 - 31) managed to storm back, however, closing the gap and even taking the lead with under a minute remaining. But Andrew Wiggins would n't let the game end there, as his 21 - foot jumper with 10 seconds remaining ultimately sent the game into overtime. At that point, there was no stopping Minnesota as they pulled away in the five - minute period. Wiggins finished the outing with a game - high 27 points, while Karl Anthony-Towns added yet another double - double of 23 points and 12 rebounds on top of seven assists. Ricky Rubio came close to a triple - double of his own, recording 22 points, eight rebounds and eight assists. As for the Magic, they put together a valiant effort just one night removed from upsetting the Toronto Raptors. And it was an all - around team effort Monday night, as all five starts and six total Orlando players managed to score in double figures. It was the starting backcourt, however, that led the way, with Elfrid Payton recording a team - high 21 points, four rebounds, four assists and three steals, while C.J. Watson scored 18 points of his own. In the end, the Magic just left too many points at the free throw line, hitting just 13 - of - 19 shot from the charity stripe for the game, which ended up being the difference. Up next, the Timberwolves will head to Cleveland on Wednesday to take on the Cavaliers, while the Magic will head home Wednesday and play the Pacers.
