Minnesota took a brief one-point lead with 50 seconds remaining on a 3-pointer by Bones Hyland, but Williamson converted a three-point play to put the Pelicans up 117-115 with 35.5 seconds to play. Anthony Edwards' shot fell short and Bey grabbed the rebound and was fouled by Julius Randle with 10.8 seconds to play.

Julius Randle: Returns to injury reportRandle is questionable for Friday's game against the Pelicans due to left thumb soreness.
Julius Randle had 17 points (7-of-18 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), four rebounds, four assists and one three-pointer in Wednesday's win over the Raptors.It's no secret that Randle is dealing with a sore left thumb on his shooting hand. Now he's shot below 40 percent from the field in three of his last four games. Maybe the two are unrelated, but his status is certainly worth monitoring going forward. The Timberwolves' next game is Friday against the Pelicans.
