MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 19 (UPI) -- Kevin Love's foul shots with 0.1 seconds remaining in the contest Sunday lifted the Minnesota Timberwolves to a 92-91 verdict over Philadelphia.

Love drove the lane with time running out and Andre Iguodala tried to tie him up along the left block. Love's shot was rejected by Elton Brand but Iguodala was whistled for the reach-in foul.

The Minnesota all-star's resulting free throws wrapped up the Timberwolves' third straight win.

Love finished with 20 points and 15 rebounds while Ricky Rubio added 22 points in the victory.

The 76ers, meanwhile, dropped their third straight despite 20 points from Jrue Holiday.

Topics: Kevin Love, Andre Iguodala, Elton Brand
