Karl-Anthony Towns made a shot along the baseline as time expired in overtime to lift the Minnesota Timberwolves over the Memphis Grizzlies, 99-97, on Wednesday night at Target Center. The Grizzlies fell to 20-32 on the season and are now 2-2 in overtime games this season. Memphis has now lost eight-straight road games. The Timberwolves improved to 25-26 on the year.
In overtime, Mike Conley sank a 12-foot runner with 3:07 remaining to make it 97-95, but a Jerryd Bayless layup with 1:27 left would tie it up. After back-to-back jump balls, Minnesota won the tap to take the final possession.
