D'Angelo Russell led the Wolves with 27 points and 12 assists in Monday's 105-104 win over Utah at Target Center. Karl-Anthony Towns complemented Russell's effort with 21 points and 11 rebounds in the victory. Trailing by 18 points in the second quarter, the triumph over Utah marked Minnesota's sixth comeback of 15-plus points this season.
