MINNEAPOLIS – D’Angelo Russell had a season-high seven 3-pointers and scored 27 points, and Karl-Anthony Towns had 21 points and 11 rebounds as the Minnesota Timberwolves rallied to beat the Utah Jazz 105-104 on Monday night.
Mike Conley gave Utah a 104-103 lead with 6.4 seconds left, but Ricky Rubio found Russell for a layup on the ensuing possession.
Conley then lost the ball in a scramble on the Jazz’s final possession as time expired. Minnesota, which started the day tied for the second-fewest wins in the NBA, handed the league-leading Jazz another loss.
The Timberwolves (18-44) went 3-0 against Utah (44-17) this season. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, it’s the first time in NBA history a team with a win percentage below .300
