Timberwolves can't hold off Bulls, fall 129-123 in overtime

CHICAGO – Tuesday's matchup with the Bulls seemed like it would be an easy one for the Wolves, who were cruising to a 22-point halftime lead behind a strong first half from Anthony Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns.

As they did in their recent loss to Orlando, the Wolves let their focus slip once they built a big lead.

That once again resulted in a disastrous loss, this time 129-123 in overtime to the Bulls on the road.

Edwards finished with 38 points, 12 rebounds and five assists while Towns had33, but the Wolves' defense slipped in the second half and allowed Coby White to get hot.
