Wolves 102, Magic 101 E-mail
Written by SG

So tight all too often earlier in the season, the Wolves recovered from 14 points down in the third quarter, from seven behind with three minutes left and from four points back in the final 87 seconds to defeat the Magic 102-101 at Amway Arena. Ryan Gomes sank two game-winning free throws with 2.9 seconds left.
 
"You got to shoot 'em like there's nobody in the gym," Gomes said of two shots that swished.
 
 
 
Wolves record: 20-59
 
 
 
  
 
 
Jerry Zgoda/Star Tribune on Randy Foye: 
His 44-minute, 25-point night included 12 points and two three-pointers in the fourth quarter, when he played every second.
 
 
 
From the AP recap:
With Orlando leading 101-100 with 1:17 to go, the Magic failed to score on their next two possessions and Minnesota misfired on four attempts. Al Jefferson missed a tipped rebound at 3.9 but Howard fouled Gomes chasing the rebound with 2.9 remaining.
 
 
 
The search for consistency will continue into next season. Friday's victory ended the Wolves' six-game losing streak and was their first road victory this season against an Eastern Conference team. Overall, they improved to 6-33 on the road.
 
Ryan Gomes made two free throws with 2.9 seconds remaining to give the Wolves their first lead of the game. Gomes' trip to the line came only after the Wolves got two offensive rebounds on their last offensive possession.
