ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Karl-Anthony Towns and Naz Reid each scored 14 points, and the Minnesota Timberwolves topped the Dallas Mavericks 104-96 on Saturday to complete a two-game sweep of the NBA Abu Dhabi Games.
Anthony Edwards, who missed the first game on Thursday with an ankle issue, scored 13 for Minnesota.
Dallas never led in Thursday’s preseason opener; it had the lead only three times on Saturday — 3-0, 6-5 and 13-11.
The Mavericks now head to Spain where they’ll play Real Madrid — Doncic’s former team — on Tuesday.
Minnesota doesn’t play again until Oct. 14 at New York.
