Karl-Anthony Towns made a go-ahead fadeaway jumper with 3:53 left as the Minnesota Timberwolves defeated the host Miami Heat 113-104 on Saturday night.

Minnesota's Malik Beasley, scoreless in the first half, had 12 points, including a huge 3-pointer with 49.9 seconds left to give Minnesota a 109-104 lead.

Jaylen Nowell led the Wolves with 16 points. Towns had 15 points and 10 rebounds despite being limited to 25 minutes due to foul trouble. He had 11 points in the first quarter, but he also picked up three fouls midway through that period. He was so frustrated with the officials that he was hit with a technical foul late in the second quarter.

Minnesota (39-30) has won seven of its past eight games. Despite the loss, Miami is 13-4 in its past 17 games.

Miami's Tyler Herro scored 18 of his game-high 30 points in the second quarter.

However, Heat forward Markieff Morris played his first game since he injured his neck on Nov. 8. He had six points in 17 minutes off the bench.

The Wolves played without two starters: Patrick Beverley (ear) and Jarred Vanderbilt (quad).
