Nickeil Alexander-Walker led the way with 30 points and five assists, Onyeka Okongwu tallied 26 points and 14 rebounds and Vit Krejčí added 18 points. Alexander-Walker registered his fifth 30-point game, the most such games in a single season in his career.
The Timberwolves snapped a two-game losing streak with a 136-101 win over the Chicago Bulls on Monday to begin a four-game road trip. They scored 81 points in the second half, marking just the fourth time in franchise history they reached that mark.
Naz Reid produced a season-high 33 points and seven rebounds, Anthony Edwards scored 23 points and Julius Randle added 17 points and 14 rebounds. Reid became the first player in franchise history with multiple 30-point games off the bench.
