After four hotly contested quarters , the Minnesota Timberwolves ( 3 - 2 ) dominated overtime , defeating the Chicago Bulls ( 4 - 3 ) by a score of 102 - 93 . Young talent was the driving force for Minnesota , as sophomore Andrew Wiggins led the way with a game - high 31 points and first overall pick Karl-Anthony Towns put up 17 points , 13 rebounds , and four blocks . Rookie Euroleague convert Nemenja Bjelica also impressed despite coming off the bench , playing 40 minutes and posting a double - double . The young squad played effective defense , holding the Bulls to just 36 percent shooting and forcing 18 turnovers , including a lost pass from Derrick Rose to seal the deal in overtime . While the Bulls were able to hold their own inside , backcourt struggles ultimately ended up costing them the game down the stretch . Starting guards Derrick Rose and Jimmy Butler combined to go just 7 - for - 28 on the night and turned the ball over five times each . This was a stark contrast from the duo 's previous outing against OKC , in which the two combined for 53 points . Ultimately , Saturday appears to be nothing more than an off night for the Chicago backcourt , as the duo was averaging 35 points per game on 44 percent shooting between them . Minnesota , coming off a league - worst 16 wins in 2014 - 15 , advances to 3 - 2 . The team will look to extend their surprisingly strong start on Monday as they face a challenging matchup against the Eastern Conference powerhouse Hawks in Atlanta . Meanwhile , the Bulls will prepare to travel to Philadelphia on Monday to take on the 76ers .
