The Minnesota Timberwolves defeated the Washington Wizards 119 - 104 Monday at Target Center . The Timberwolves ( 28 - 38 ) did n't waste any time opening up Monday 's contest , as they ended the first quarter with an 18 - point lead and never let the Wizards ( 41 - 25 ) within one possession , as their smallest lead from that point was five points . Karl-Anthony Towns had his way in the outing , scoring a game - high 39 points on 17 - of - 26 shooting and grabbing 13 rebounds . Those offensive opportunities for Towns came in large part to the play of Ricky Rubio , who scored 22 points and recorded 19 assists in Monday 's matchup . It was a hot shooting night for the team overall , as Minnesota shot 52 percent from the field and a scorching 48 percent from behind the arc . As for Washington , the loss ended a five - game winning streak , but the team has still won seven of its last nine games . They were led , once again , by their backcourt of John Wall and Bradley Beal . Wall finished with a game - high 27 points , while scored 20 points of his own . The next highest scorer for the Wizards , however , was Bojan Bogdanovic , who shot just 3 - of - 11 from the field en route to scoring 12 points . It was a poor shooting night all around for Washington , as the team shot just 43 percent from the field and 27 percent from behind the arc . Up next , the Timberwolves will travel to Boston on Wednesday to take on the Celtics , while the Wizards will head home to play the Mavericks on Wednesday . Ricky Rubio had a masterful performance in Monday 's victory over the Wizards , as he scored 22 points and dished out 19 assists in 39 minutes , and the big numbers the Spaniard is producing have become a staple for him in the month of March . After Monday 's performance , Rubio is now averaging 16 points and 12 assists over six games in March . Most impressive , however , is that Rubio has shot well over 50 percent from the field in his last two games , and over the six games in March , the point guard is shooting 47 percent from the field and 38 percent from behind the arc - - both which would easily be monthly bests this season . At this , Rubio , who has been seen as a offensive liability when it comes to shooting the ball for most of his career , is becoming yet another option for this team .
