Karl-Anthony Towns , The Canadian Press
Karl-Anthony Towns had 33 points and 23 rebounds, and the Timberwolves beat the Memphis Grizzlies 112-99 on Saturday night, ending a five-game slide that matched their longest of the season. Andrew Wiggins added 22 points and rookie Josh Okogie had 17 as all five Minnesota starters reached double figures in scoring.Memphis led at halftime 50-49, but Minnesota broke it open with a 19-4 run to start the second half. The Grizzlies were getting nothing offensively, going 3 of 14 from the field during the Timberwolves' rally. The lead reached 19 at one point, and Minnesota carried an 84-68 advantage into the fourth.
A lack of energy plagued the Grizzlies, who were playing a back-to-back after losing to Orlando in overtime Friday. Valanciunas played a season-high 41 minutes in that game, and other Memphis players were extended in playing time. That left the Grizzlies flat when Minnesota made its run.
