Toppin's 34 points and late 3 in OT lead depleted Pacers to 132-130 win, stop Wolves' streak at 8

MINNEAPOLIS — Obi Toppin's fourth 3-pointer of overtime came with 3.5 seconds left to lift the short-handed Indiana Pacers over Minnesota 132-130 and end the Timberwolves' eight-game winning streak. Toppin had a season-high 34 points to help the Pacers win without their top six scorers down the stretch. Four starters were out. Andrew Nembhard was ejected in the third quarter, and Bennedict Mathurin fouled out in the fourth. The Timberwolves led by five with a minute left in overtime until Thomas Bryant hit a 3. Anthony Edwards missed from deep, Toppin hit his clutch shot and Julius Randle's fadeaway fell short at the buzzer.
