Karl-Anthony Towns and Mike Conley resuscitated the offense in the third quarter with 11 points apiece. The Wolves shot 71% in the second half after going 36% in the first. “Ant was shooting all the balls in the first half, so it was hard to get into a rhythm,” Conley joked. “I’m comfortable waiting until the second half. I’ve done that a lot throughout my career. I’ve done that a lot this season. I know the guys trust me to be aggressive.”
