After a 30-second timeout, the Timberwolves came out with a spark. Notably, Logan McCauley (Wolverine/Wolverine), came off the bench and hit four first-half threes, providing the spark the Timberwolves needed. They went into the half up seven points. Another four-minute scoring lapse to start the second half allowed the Lumberjacks to regain control of the lead.
