The Minnesota Timberwolves ( 19 - 40 ) defeated the New Orleans Pelicans ( 23 - 35 ) 112 - 110 , on Saturday at Smoothie King Center . Anthony Davis , one of the league 's hottest players lately , had to leave the floor after injuring his foot in the pre - game warm up and did not return . With Davis then missing from the line - up and Omer Asik still out , the Pelicans had to look down their bench , while sharpshooter Ryan Anderson filled in as starter . Despite missing their all - star , the Pelicans held the lead for most of the game but the tides turned as the Timberwolves took the lead with 2:40 left , 104 - 103 . Once the Timberwolves got on top , they hung on to steal the win in New Orleans , behind Karl-Anthony Towns ' team - high 30 points . The youngsters had huge games for Minnesota . Karl-Anthony Towns was a beast as he tallied a team - high 30 points ( 13 - 20 FG , 0 - 1 3Pt , 4 - 8 FT ) , along with 15 rebounds , four assists , two steals and one block , in 35 minutes . Zach LaVine chipped in 25 points ( 11 - 17 FG , 2 - 4 3Pt , 1 - 1 FT ) and five rebounds , in 35 minutes , while Ricky Rubio dished 10 assists , along with is nine points , in 35 minutes . Andrew Wiggins struggled from the field but made up for it from the free throw line , as he added 20 points ( 5 - 15 FG , 0 - 3 3Pt , 10 - 10 FT ) , including two clutch free throws with three seconds left that ultimately won the game . The Timberwolves shot 50 percent from the field and only attempted 15 three - points , of which five were successful . New Orleans came into this game winners of five of their last seven and with the good news that Eric Gordon would be returning to the line - up after missing 16 games , but things took a turn for the worst when Anthony Davis injured his foot in pre - game warm up . Ryan Anderson stepped it up as he scored 13 points in his first 13 minutes on the floor and finished with 31 points ( 10 - 18 FG , 3 - 7 3Pt , 8 - 9 FT ) , 14 rebounds , and two blocked shots , in 40 minutes , while Eric Gordon provided another bright spot for the Pelicans as he totaled 31 points ( 9 - 17 FG , 4 - 9 3Pt , 9 - 10 FT ) , three rebounds , three steals and two assists , in 34 minutes . Jrue Holiday added 20 points ( 8 - 13 FG , 1 - 3 3Pt , 3 - 3 FT ) and eight assists , in 35 minutes off the bench . The Pelicans will have a few days off before playing in Houston next Wednesday , giving Davis some time to perhaps recover . The Timberwolves will wind - up their current three - game road trip with a game in Dallas on Sunday .
