NBA: Minnesota 111, Miami 104

MIAMI, Feb. 18 (UPI) -- Sebastian Telfair recorded a career-best 30 points and led a 3-point assault Wednesday that brought Minnesota a 111-104 victory over Miami.

The Timberwolves made 14-of-22 from 3-point range and Telfair hit six of the shots from beyond the arc. The win was the first since Minnesota lost their best player, Al Jefferson, to a season-ending knee injury and halted a five-game losing streak.

Ryan Gomes chipped in 20 points and Kevin Love had 16 for Minnesota, which held a 49-24 rebounding edge. The 24 rebounds were the second fewest ever for Miami.

Miami was led by 37 points and 12 assists by Dwyane Wade. Jermaine O'Neal, traded to Miami from Toronto last week, scored 13 points in his debut with the Heat.

Back-to-back 3-pointers by Randy Foye and Telfair put the Timberwolves in front for good with 90 seconds to go.
