so many leads this season that he had finally had enough.Once he made up his
mind, the Phoenix Suns couldnt hold him down.Towns had 28 points and 15
rebounds, and the Timberwolves beat the Phoenix Suns 115-108 on Monday night.I
was going to do everything in my power and my part to ensure we didnt come out
of tonight with a loss, Towns said.Andrew Wiggins scored 26 points and Zach
LaVine added 23 for the Timberwolves. Ricky Rubio had 12 assists and Minnesota
picked up its first win at home since Nov. 17.Eric Bledsoe scored 27 points for
the Suns, who have lost three straight and four out of five. Brandon Knight had
21 points off the bench and Devin Booker scored 18 on 6-for-15 shooting for
Phoenix.The game figured to be heavy on offense, with two young teams far more
concerned with putting the ball in the basket than stopping anyone on the other
end.The Suns came into the game second in the league in pace, second in
fast-break points and third in points off turnovers. And the Wolves are the
first team in history to have three 21-year-olds averaging at least 20 points
per game.One thing we know we need to get better at is our toughness, Suns coach
Earl Watson said. Thats not a stat. We have to become more feisty because we are
small on the perimeter.The Wolves built a 14-point lead in the first half, but
have given away double-digit leads all season long. They were coming off a
particularly disheartening loss against Houston on Saturday night in which they
blew a 12-point lead with two minutes to play before losing in overtime.Phoenix
cut the deficit to two points several times in the fourth, but the Wolves had an
answer each time.After Phoenix cut the Wolves lead to 105-103 with four minutes
to play, Towns grabbed two offensive rebounds against Tyson Chandler, who ranks
fifth in the NBA in rebounding, and scored on the second putback after getting
fouled.Towns let out a yell and pounded his bicep, then swished the free throw
for a five-point lead. The play ignited a 10-2 run that put away the game.Even
missing the first one, I was determined to get that second one, Towns said. I
wouldve gotten a foul running over someone to get it. Every single ounce of
energy I had left to make sure I go up and get that ball.That kind of intensity
is what Wolves coach Tom Thibodeau has been trying to instill from the
start.Great, multiple-effort play, Thibodeau said. Thats will and determination
and often times thats the difference right there between winning and
losing.TIP-INSSuns: Knight made 8 of 13 shots, and his efficiency in the first
half kept the game from getting away from the Suns while Booker and Bledsoe
started 3 for 14. ... Jared Dudley scored 12 and Leandro Barbosa had 10 points
for the Suns bench, which outscored Minnesotas 44-20. ... The Suns missed 10
free throws.Timberwolves: Rubio made two technical free throws to run his streak
to 34 straight without a miss. Thats the longest active streak in the league
after Stephen Currys ended at 44 in a row last week. ... The Wolves went 24 for
25 from the line.VOLATILE SUNSMarqueese Chriss and P.J. Tucker both picked up
technical fouls for arguing with the officials, and the Suns had trouble keeping
their composure for much of the night. Chriss was particularly erratic, barking
at officials Monty McCutcheon, David Guthrie and Kane Fitzgerald and wrestling
with Towns under the basket.Tucker voiced his displeasure often while guarding
Wiggins, with officials not letting him play as physical as the burly forward
likes to on that end.We let it get to us early as far as the refs and the other
team, we let it get to us and we could never recuperate from it, Bledsoe said.UP
NEXTSuns: Phoenix heads back home to face the Houston Rockets on
Wednesday.Timberwolves: Minnesota hits the road to play the Atlanta Hawks on
Wednesday.

China Wholesale . -- Brandon Jennings made the most of his first game with
the Detroit Pistons on Sunday night. DALLAS -- Chris Paul had to be reminded
that the Los Angeles Clippers are up to an NBA-leading 14 wins.They wont get
much easier than this one over the injury-plagued Dallas Mavericks.Paul scored
18 points, DeAndre Jordan had 16 points and eight rebounds and the Clippers
cruised past the Mavericks 124-104 on Wednesday night in a matchup of the teams
with the best and worst records in the NBA.I honestly didnt know we had 14 wins,
said Paul, who added four assists and four steals. I know we have two losses.
But for us, when youve been in this league for a while, its not necessarily
about the wins. Its about how youre playing and about the spirit.Dirk Nowitzki
scored 10 points on 3-of-10 shooting in 20 minutes in his return for Dallas
after the 13-time All-Star missed eight games with a strained left Achilles
tendon.Austin Rivers added 22 points -- half of them in a meaningless fourth
quarter -- for the Clippers. They had a 30-6 run in the second and third
quarters on the way to their fourth straight win and 11th in 12 games.Harrison
Barnes had 22 to lead the Mavericks (2-12). They lost their seventh straight
game to match their longest skid since February 1999, during Nowitzkis rookie
season.Dallas, missing its top three point guards and facing a trip to defending
champion Cleveland, is off to its worst start since going 1-23 in 1993-94. The
Mavericks started the week with a valiant effort in a loss at San Antonio.This
is obviously as tough a week as you can get in the NBA, Nowitzki said. So
hopefully well fight through this and grind out a win here and there. And when
the schedule turns in our favor hopefully get more healthy and run off some
wins. Thats the only way to do it.Blake Griffin had 12 points, seven assists and
six rebounds, all in the first three quarters along with the rest of the
starters. The Clippers led by 31 in the third.Rivers scored 11 points in the
first half, including 3-pointers just four seconds apart after he hit one, stole
the inbound pass and made another. He was 6 of 7 from long
range.TIP-INSClippers: LA shot 61 percent in the first half and made 9 of 14
from 3-point range. ... Marrreese Speights scored 16 and Jamal Crawford added 15
as the Clippers had a 65-43 advantage in bench scoring.dddddddddddd ... Speights
had his first double-double with a season-high 12 rebounds. The 16 points
matched his season high. ... JJ Redick had 10 points.Mavericks: PG Deron
Williams sat for the eighth time in nine games with a left calf strain. He said
hes hopeful to play next week. ... C Andrew Bogut was called for a flagrant foul
on a hip-check of Paul as the Clippers point guard drove to the basket. Paul
jumped up and went at Bogut, and the pair kept jawing as the referees prepared
to review the play. ... Bogut had 12 rebounds and six assists after missing a
game with a sore right calf.COWBOY UPThe Clippers will stay in the Dallas area
to attend the Washington Redskins-Dallas Cowboys game on Thanksgiving before
continuing a six-game trip Friday at Detroit. Paul is a well-documented fan of
the Cowboys, who have the NFLs best record at 9-1. He wore the jersey of rookie
running back Ezekiel Elliott, the NFLs rushing leader, on the flight from Los
Angeles. Paul has attended Cowboys training camp in the LA area.While
acknowledging that his team has a bevy of Dallas fans, Clippers coach and
Chicago Bears fan Doc Rivers had a parting shot for reporters. Im not going to
call you any of you guys bandwagon, OK, but this is the first time you guys have
mentioned the Cowboys in like four years, Rivers said.LOSING THE LUSTERThe boos
were still there for Jordan, who spurned the Mavericks in free agency in the
summer of 2015 after agreeing to join them. But they werent quite as loud or
persistent as the 6-foot-11 centers two visits last season.UP NEXTClippers: The
visit to the Pistons on the seasons longest trip is the first of four straight
against Eastern Conference teams. Defending champion Cleveland is the last of
those four opponents.Mavericks: A quick trip to face LeBron James, another
Cowboys fan, and the Cavaliers on Friday before home games against New Orleans
and San Antonio.
