Guard Isaiah Miller provided a spark off the bench for the Wolves with 14 points, including 10 after halftime. Miller added four steals as the team's defensive pressure helped fuel the comeback. Rounding out the double-figure scorers was Chris Silva who tallied 10 points.

The two teams will square off again Monday night at Wells Fargo at 7 p.m. CT.
