The Timberwolves went without both their All-Star big man and their ailing All-Star coach, and they left Cleveland on Friday night with a 113-104 overtime loss to the Cavaliers.
The Cavs' 8-1 run in overtime pushed them to a seven-point lead — their biggest all night — from which the Wolves could not recover. The Wolves were outscored 16-7 overall in OT.
Karl-Anthony Towns missed his second consecutive game because of a knee injury that will require surgery and sideline him at least four weeks, and Chris Finch was a late scratch because he wasn't feeling well enough.
