Minnesota nearly completed the rally from behind in the fourth quarter , but costly turnovers and missed free throws led to the T-Wolves ' demise .

McCollum , who has provided the perfect complement at the two - guard spot . McCollum finished with 18 points , six rebounds , and four assists in 36 minutes . Rookie Karl-Anthony Towns has started off his NBA career on the right foot , but took a small step back against Portland on Monday . He had a quiet night offensively , scoring just 11 points on 5 - of - 9 shooting from the field and pulled down only five rebounds in 27 minutes . Towns was in foul trouble all night , but did however manage to block four shots and did an excellent job keeping the Blazers frontcourt in check .
