VIDEO: Towns and Wiggins send game to OT

Orlando Magic forward Tobias Harris wasn't going to beat the Minnesota Timberwolves.
At least, not on Karl-Anthony Towns' watch.
Towns caught Harris sneaking backdoor and erased his layup attempt to send Wednesday's game into overtime.
Towns projects as the favorite for Rookie of the Year through the first eighth of the season. The 19-year-old center is averaging 15.4 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 2.1 blocks per game, helping the Timberwolves to a promising 5-6 start to the season.
Last year's Rookie of the Year in Andrew Wiggins tied the game on the prior possession with a gorgeous finish after a tight spin move.
