Norman Powell scored 23 points as the Chicago Bulls beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 117-106 on Saturday night, ending Minnesota’s five-game winning streak.

Matas Buzelis added 18 points and nine rebounds for Chicago, and Buddy Hield and Tre Jones each chipped in 16 points off the bench. The Bulls won for the second straight night despite a travel day scrambled by the nationwide FAA ground stop, which delayed their arrival in Minneapolis until the day of the game, and despite missing Caleb Wilson, Jalen Smith and Nic Claxton.

Chicago led 29-17 after the first quarter and 58-45 at halftime. Minnesota’s 17 points in the first quarter were its lowest-scoring quarter of the season, and the Timberwolves failed to reach 110 points for the first time this season.

Ayo Dosunmu scored a team-high 24 points against his former team for Minnesota, LaMelo Ball had 19 and Jaden McDaniels added 18. The Timberwolves missed their first 13 3-point attempts and finished 9 of 38 from long range, while Chicago scored 54 points in the paint.
