Wolves record: 1-6



Mired in a 12-day victory drought, the Wolves were hoping to wrap up their West Coast swing with a slump-busting win over a depleted Warriors team playing without guards Monta Ellis (suspended) and Corey Maggette (hamstring), and forward Al Harrington (back).

Instead, the Wolves will take a 1-6 record into Saturday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers at Target Center, thanks to Warriors guard Stephen Jackson, who scored six of his 30 points in overtime.


Al Jefferson had 25 points, 12 rebounds and four blocked shots for Minnesota, which seemed in control when it led by 10 with 7:06 left. The Timberwolves missed their first five shots in overtime before Randy Foye's basket with 1:07 to play.

Minnesota hasn't won since starting the season with a 98-96 victory against Sacramento at home on Oct. 29.


Leading by 13 early, trailing by 13 in the third quarter and leading again by 10, the Wolves were outscored 13-3 in the final seven minutes of the fourth quarter when the Warriors slapped down a zone defense that vexed the Wolves, Wittman and point guard Randy Foye...

Down the fourth-quarter stretch, the Wolves once again turned into a jump-shooting team after they used their defense and transition game to orchestrate a 14-2 third-quarter run, led by Foye, that got them back in the game.
