This was a very tight game , as neither team was able to grab a double - digit lead . It was a costly foul late that decided it , as three free - throws by Ricky Rubio with two seconds left was the difference in the game . Three-point shooting was the only real advantage for Minnesota , as they shot 45 percent from long distance , to Indiana 's 28 percent . Karl-Anthony Towns led Minnesota , as he totaled 37 points and 12 rebounds . Rubio accrued 21 points , five rebounds and 10 assists . Gorgui Dieng amassed 19 points , six rebounds and two blocks . Andrew Wiggins contributed 17 points and five rebounds . Paul George led Indiana with 37 points , seven rebounds and four steals . Jeff Teague accumulated 20 points , three rebounds and 10 assists . Monta Eliis started and provided 19 points , four rebounds and five assists . Myles Turner totaled 15 points , eight rebounds , four assists and two blocks . The Minnesota Timberwolves defeated the host Indiana Pacers , 115 - 114 , at Bankers Life Fieldhouse on Tuesday . This game meant a lot more to the Pacers than the Timberwolves , but Minnesota played spoiler at the buzzer . In fact , Ricky Rubio hit three free - throws with two seconds left to turn a two - point deficit into a one - point lead and eventually the win . It was close throughout , as there were six ties and 10 lead changes in total , with neither team grabbing a double - digit lead . The only true advantage Minnesota had was in three - point shooting , as they went 9 - of - 21 from long distance , while Indiana went 5 - of - 18 . The Timberwolves ( 29 - 44 ) playoff hopes have been slipping away over recent weeks , but this victory keeps it alive just a bit . Karl-Anthony Towns was the player of the game , as he collected 37 points and 12 rebounds . Rubio finished second on the team , accumulating 21 points , five rebounds and 10 assists . Gorgui Dieng amassed 19 points , six rebounds and two blocks . Andrew Wiggins was the last Minnesota player in double figures , as he totaled 17 points , five rebounds and two assists . The Pacers ( 37 - 37 ) have been dominant at home all season , but this was a devastating loss in a game they were supposed to win . Paul George did all he could for Indiana , as he led the team with 37 points , seven rebounds and four steals . Jeff Teague accrued 20 points , three rebounds and 10 assists . Monta Ellis got a rare start and provided 19 points , four rebounds , five assists and two steals . Myles Turner contributed 15 points , eight rebounds , four assists and two blocks .
