The Minnesota Timberwolves defeated the Orlando Magic , 111 - 105 , in overtime Monday at Target Center . The Timberwolves ( 19 - 29 ) , now winners of five of their last six , actually found themselves down for most of Monday 's game before opening up a lead in the fourth quarter as large as nine points . The Magic ( 19 - 31 ) managed to storm back , however , closing the gap and even taking the lead with under a minute remaining . But Andrew Wiggins would n't let the game end there , as his 21 - foot jumper with 10 seconds remaining ultimately sent the game into overtime . At that point , there was no stopping Minnesota as they pulled away in the five - minute period . Wiggins finished the outing with a game - high 27 points , while Karl Anthony-Towns added yet another double - double of 23 points and 12 rebounds on top of seven assists . Ricky Rubio came close to a triple - double of his own , recording 22 points , eight rebounds and eight assists . As for the Magic , they put together a valiant effort just one night removed from upsetting the Toronto Raptors . And it was an all - around team effort Monday night , as all five starts and six total Orlando players managed to score in double figures . It was the starting backcourt , however , that led the way , with Elfrid Payton recording a team - high 21 points , four rebounds , four assists and three steals , while C.J . Watson scored 18 points of his own . In the end , the Magic just left too many points at the free throw line , hitting just 13 - of - 19 shot from the charity stripe for the game , which ended up being the difference . Up next , the Timberwolves will head to Cleveland on Wednesday to take on the Cavaliers , while the Magic will head home Wednesday and play the Pacers . Andrew Wiggins has established himself as a pure scorer in the NBA , but his field goal percentage this season - - 45 percent - - is likely lower than the Timberwolves would like . However , over this hot stretch where Minnesota has won five of their last six games , Wiggins has not only been scoring at a high rate , but an efficient rate as well . Following his 27 - point performance Tuesday against the Magic , Wiggins has averaged 26 points per game over the last six games after a so - so start to January . But more importantly , Wiggins shot over 47 percent from the field five times in those six game - - those five times led to five wins for the Timberwolves , while in the one game he shot a lesser 41 percent from the field , Minnesota fell by nine to the Pacers .
