Timberwolves halt red-hot Rockets' winning streak

San Antonio Spurs guard Tony Parker (9) passes the ball around Minnesota Timberwolves guard Andrew Wiggins (22) in the third quarter at Target Center.

Andrew Wiggins scored a team high 28 points as the Minnesota Timberwolves snapped the Houston Rockets nine-game winning streak Wednesday with a 119-105 NBA victory at the Target Centre arena.

Karl-Anthony Towns tallied 23 points and 18 rebounds to post his ninth consecutive double-double and Ricky Rubio had 10 points and tied his career high with 17 assists in the Timberwolves’ second straight win.
“I’m not going to joke with you,” said Canadian Wiggins. “When we got to the fourth quarter with that kind of lead, you can’t let it slide.
