Nov. 08--Andrew Wiggins scored 31 and Karl-Anthony Towns and Nemanja Bjelica each added 17 to lift the Minnesota Timberwolves to a 102-93 overtime victory over the Chicago Bulls on Saturday night at the United Center.
Pau Gasol led the often-listless Bulls with 21 points and 14 rebounds but it wasn't enough as they dropped to 4-3 on the season.

Bjelica's lay-in with 4 minutes, 13 seconds remainig in overtime gave the Timberwolves a 95-93 lead they never reliquished. The Bulls were 0-for-9 from the floor in overtime and did not score a point.

The quote
"I think nobody in this room wants to be an up-and-down team or an average team or a team that strives for making it to the playoffs and then get out. We have a lot of talent." -- Bulls center Pau Gasol
