MILWAUKEE (AP) – D’Angelo Russell scored 29 points, Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards each added 25, and the Minnesota Timberwolves held off the short-handed Milwaukee Bucks 113-108 on Wednesday night.

Giannis Antetokounmpo had 40 points and 16 rebounds for the Bucks, who were without point guard Jrue Holiday and center Brook Lopez.

The Bucks trailed 94-79 entering the final period but pulled within 110-108 on Antetokounmpo’s layup with 9.4 seconds remaining.

Edwards answered with two free throws. Minnesota had lost six straight against the Bucks and hadn’t won at Milwaukee since the 2013-14 season.
