Rudy Gobert led the Timberwolves with 22 points and 16 rebounds, but it wasn’t enough to overcome off nights for both Anthony Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns.
Rudy Gobert and the Timberwolves continue their road trip in San Antonio, where they’ll take on Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs in a matchup of French bigs.
Karl-Anthony Towns scored a career-high and franchise record 62 points, but Minnesota blew an 18-point second half lead at home to a now-10-31 Charlotte team.
Anthony Edwards and the Timberwolves are looking to snap their longest losing streak (2) of the season on the road against Alperen Şengün and the Rockets in Houston.
Edwards ranks sixth among Western Conference back-court players, while Towns ranks 10th in the front-court in the NBA’s first returns of the fan voting.
