Kevin Love, who had missed two of the last three games with minor injuries, returned to supply 31 points and 10 rebounds for the Timberwolves, but it wasn't enough to prevent their fourth consecutive loss.

Minnesota was still without starters Kevin Martin (thumb) and center Nikola Pekovic (ankle), as well as Coach Rick Adelman, who missed the game for personal reasons.
