The New York Knicks face the Minnesota Timberwolves Tuesday at Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota, with tip-off set for 8 p.m. ET.

Traded for each other right before last season began, Randle and Towns both showed out in Minnesota's win Tuesday night at Target Center.

Tonight was a much different story. The Wolves took down the Knicks 115-104 in a game they led most of the second half. Towns played well again, scoring 40 points and fouling out in classic KAT fashion, but without Jalen Brunson and OG Anunoby, the Wolves’ defense held the rest of the Knicks roster in check.

New York head coach Mike Brown even tried to limit Brunson's minutes in the win over Miami, but with the game being back-and-forth, he made an audible with the star playing great, scoring a season-high 47 points, as he was in the game for 38 minutes.

Rounding out the starters, Mikal Bridges and Josh Hart both had double-doubles. Bridges’ was a 20-point, 11-rebound affair on 7-of-16 shooting, 1-of-6 from deep in 38 minutes. Hart played 42 minutes, scoring 12 points, grabbing 15 boards, and dishing out eight dimes.
