NEW YORK — If the Timberwolves are going to make a move up the Western Conference standings, now is as good a time as they may have the rest of the season. Their schedule may get tough the rest of the month, but they are the healthiest they have been since the beginning of the season.
Coach Chris Finch wanted them to start stacking high-quality performances after Sunday's win against Golden State, and Tuesday they pulled out a 112-110 win against the Knicks.
Karl-Anthony Towns had 11 of his 20 points in the first quarter while Anthony Edwards had 21 points and D'Angelo Russell finished with 17. Julius Randle had 21 points for New York while Evan Fournier had 27 and Kemba Walker caught fire in the fourth for 19.
