ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates (AP) - Karl-Anthony Towns scored 20 points in just 17 minutes as the Minnesota Timberwolves opened their preseason with a 107-98 victory over the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA Abu Dhabi Games 2023.
Key Takeaways
Despite playing without star guard Anthony Edwards, who is resting an injured left ankle, the Timberwolves showed promising signs in their first outing of the preseason.

Other Highlights
Naz Reid added 15 points and 10 rebounds for the Timberwolves, while Luka Doncic led the Mavericks with 22 points.
The two teams will play a rematch on Friday in Abu Dhabi before the Timberwolves return to the United States for the remainder of their preseason schedule.
