The Minnesota Timberwolves earned their third straight win , as they defeated the visiting Oklahoma City Thunder , 96 - 86 , at Target Center on Friday evening . After the Timberwolves won the first quarter , the Thunder battled back to take a 50 - 45 lead into halftime . However , the Timberwolves were not deterred , as they came out of the dressing room with a fire lit beneath them . They fought to regain the lead with 6:24 left in the third and did not look back , leading the entire fourth quarter , while stretching the deficit to as many as 14 in the quarter . This marks the third win in a row for the Timberwolves ( 14 - 26 ) , who have now knocked off two of the more dangerous teams in the league , defeating Houston and Oklahoma City in the matter of a few days . Despite being notoriously poor in second halves early in the season , the Timberwolves used a 51 - 36 second half to bury the Thunder in this one . Karl-Anthony Towns led the charge , with a game - high 29 points , to go along with 17 rebounds , three blocks , two steals and one assist , in 37 minutes . Andrew Wiggins added 19 points , while Ricky Rubio chipped in 14 points and dished 14 assists . The Timberwolves gave up 16 turnovers , but forced 19 out of their opponent , while they shot 45 percent from the field and managed to hold the Thunder to only 39 percent . The T-Wolves are now 9 - 13 at home and can look ahead to their next game on Sunday in Dallas . Meanwhile , the Thunder ( 24 - 17 ) saw their three - game win streak come to an end , as they were stifled by the determined Timberwolves . The Thunder struggled from long range , going only 3 - of - 20 . Russell Westbrook had a quiet night in the points column , by his standards that is , as he finished with 21 points . Westbrook added 12 assists and 11 rebounds to notch his 19th triple - double of the season , which is a career - high for him . Enes Kanter continued his solid play , as he added 21 points , in 30 minutes off the bench , while the only other player to score in double digits for the Thunder was Victor Oladipo , who finished with 19 . The Thunder will look to bounce back as they take on the Kings in Sacramento on Sunday , which will mark the second game of their current six - game road trip .
