The visiting Boston Celtics defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves , 99 - 93 , at at Target Center on Monday . Enter the final period , the game was firmly in the Timberwolves ' ( 4 - 9 ) grasp , as they held a commanding 13 - point lead over the Celtics ( 8 - 6 ) entering the final period after winning both the second and third quarters . Boston , however , quickly changed that when they opened up the fourth quarter on a 170 run to take a four point lead . From there , the Timberwolves would never lead again as the Celtics ' Isaiah Thomas closed things out for his team by scoring 10 of their final 12 points . Thomas finished the outing with a game - high 29 points , while Al Horford posted 20 points , six rebounds , five assists and three blocks in 36 minutes . For the Timberwolves , Karl Anthony Towns was nearly unstoppable , shooting 11 - of - 19 from the field and 2 - of - 4 from behind the arc en route to scoring a team - high 27 points and grabbing 18 rebounds . Minnesota 's other star , Andrew Wiggins , struggled mightily Tuesday night , scoring 14 points in a very poor 5 - of - 18 shooting from the field . In the end , the Timberwolves lost the game because they were n't able to hit their outside shots , as Wiggins and shooting guard Zach LaVine combined to shoot 0 - of - 12 from 3 - point range , while as a team , Minnesota shot 4 - of - 20 from behind the arc . Up next , the Celtics will head to Brooklyn on Wednesday to play the Nets , while the Timberwolves will travel to New Orleans to take on the Pelicans on the same day . Andrew Wiggins looked like he was turning into a superstar before Timberwolves fans ' eyes given his hot start to his 2016 - 17 campaign . He went through a six - game stretch where he averaged 33 points per game , which included a game against the Lakers with a career - high 47 points . But following his peak , he 's possibly entered a slump , as Monday 's poor shooting performances was his second in a row . After shooting just 5 - of - 18 from the field for 14 points against Boston , Wiggins has now shot just 7 - of - 29 from the field and 0 - of - 8 from behind the arc in his last two games to combine for just 21 points . It should not be considered a slump yet , as Wiggins has shot under 40 percent from the field just four times all season , but if Wiggins wants to prove he can be an All-Star in this league , he 'll have to prove he can be a model of consistency as well .
