Timberwolves' Andrew Wiggins: Scores game-high 29 in Saturday's OT win

Wiggins scored 29 points (11-20 FG, 2-7 3 Pt, 5-5 FT) while adding four assists, three steals and a rebound in 37 minutes during Saturday's 125-120 overtime win over the Hornets.

Analysis:

It's just the second time in the last nine games that Wiggins has topped 20 points, after racking up nine such performances in the first 11 games to begin the season. Not coincidentally, the T-Wolves' only two wins in that time came in the two games when Wiggins scored 20 or more. His shooting from the floor has been the main problem during his slump -- Saturday's game ended a streak of eight straight games where he had a FG percentage no better than 42.9.
