CHICAGO (AP) Andrew Wiggins scored 31 points, and the Minnesota Timberwolves beat the Chicago Bulls 102-93 in overtime on Saturday night.

Karl-Anthony Towns added 17 points, 13 rebounds and four blocked shots for Minnesota, which had lost two in a row. Fellow rookie Nemanja Bjelica also scored 17.

The Timberwolves outscored the Bulls 9-0 in overtime. Towns' layup made it 98-93 with 2:32 to go, and then the No. 1 overall draft pick set up Tayshaun Prince for a layup with 30 seconds to go.

Pau Gasol had 21 points and 14 rebounds for Chicago, which was coming off a 104-98 victory against Oklahoma City on Thursday night. Tony Snell scored 14 points.

The Bulls shot 35.5 percent (33 for 93) from the field and were outrebounded 58-50 by the Timberwolves.

Wiggins spun away from Taj Gibson for a tying dunk with a minute left in regulation, and then Prince gave Minnesota the lead with a driving layup. But Gasol tipped in a miss by Nikola Mirotic with 21 seconds remaining and Wiggins missed badly on a long jump shot as time expired.

Ricky Rubio had seven points, 10 assists and eight rebounds for Minnesota, which shot 40.6 percent (36 for 96).
