However , Minnesota clawed back to trail by only three , 52 - 49 by intermission . The second half was a continuous see - saw battle that appeared like it might go the Hornets ' way in the closing seconds , until an Andrew Wiggins 31 - foot three - point jumper with eight seconds remaining knotted the score at 106 . He then sunk a pair of clutch free throws with 11 seconds remaining in overtime to give Minnesota some crucial breathing room at 123 - 118 . That five - point margin was the final separation between the two teams , as the Timberwolves secured only their third road win of the season .
