The Timberwolves clinched their fifth straight home win, but with a 31-35 record, Minnesota remained far off the 8th and last playoff spot held by the San Antonio Spurs (37-29) in the Western Conference.
Interim coach Ryan Saunders said Towns, who sustained a right knee injury late in regulation, would undergo further testing.
Bradley Beal led the Wizards with 36 points, including a buzzer-beating three-pointer that sent the game into overtime.
Just like the Timberwolves, the Wizards remained out of the playoff picture in the East with a 27-39 record. – Rappler.com
