The Minnesota Timberwolves pulled off a stunning comeback win over the New Orleans Pelicans on Saturday night, erasing a 14-point deficit in the fourth quarter and sealing the victory with a clutch three-pointer by Karl-Anthony Towns.
Towns leads the way with 37 points and 15 rebounds
Towns was the hero of the night for the Timberwolves, scoring a game-high 37 points and grabbing 15 rebounds. He also hit seven of his 10 three-point attempts, including the go-ahead shot with 8.9 seconds left in the game. Towns was unstoppable in the final period, scoring 16 of his points and making four of his threes.
The Pelicans had no answer for Towns, who dominated the paint and the perimeter with his versatile skill set. He also played solid defense, blocking three shots and altering many others. Towns showed why he is one of the best big men in the league, and he carried his team to a much-needed win.
Pelicans collapse in the fourth quarter, waste Zion’s 34 points
The Pelicans looked like they had the game under control, leading by 14 points with 8:31 left in the fourth quarter. They had been playing well on both ends of the floor, with Zion Williamson leading the way with 34 points on 14-of-19 shooting. Williamson was a force inside, scoring at will and drawing fouls. He also had eight rebounds and four assists.
However, the Pelicans fell apart in the final minutes, allowing the Timberwolves to go on a 22-4 run and take the lead. The Pelicans missed shots, turned the ball over, and failed to get stops. They also made some costly mistakes, such as fouling Towns on a three-point attempt and leaving him open for the game-winner. The Pelicans wasted a great performance by Williamson and dropped their third straight game.
