The Minnesota Timberwolves got a huge 115-114 win over the Dallas Mavericks on the road on Wednesday, with Mike Conley turning in a good performance, which drew some funny comments from Julius Randle about his age.

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Julius Randle appears to be frustrated, and this could mark the beginning of the end of his time in Minnesota.
