| SALT LAKE CITY -- When the Minnesota Timberwolves were mired in a slump, they figured theyd get back to winning if they shed some sweat. They never thought it would take some blood, too. Kevin Love grabbed his 4,000th career rebound as part of a 19-point, 13-board effort to lead the Timberwolves over the Utah Jazz 112-97 on Tuesday night. Along the way to sweeping a home-and-home set against the Jazz, Alexey Shved left with a broken nose and Kevin Martin sliced open his right pinkie. "Its crazy. I cant remember two people bleeding like that in the same game," said Nikola Pekovic, who had 18 points and nine rebounds. Love leads the league with 35 double-doubles but he thought it was passing and teamwork that sealed a sweep of the home-and-home set with the Jazz. "Ive been passing the ball all season and guys were converting," said Love, who had eight assists. "I didnt get too many looks and didnt convert many from the 3-point line so I had to figure other ways to be effective." Ricky Rubio has returned to his spontaneous, free-flowing style and had 11 points and 13 assists for the Wolves, who snapped a seven-game losing streak in Utah. "Tonight was a pure team effort," Pekovic said. "We are all good friends between us. On the good nights everything is fine, of course." It was another good night for Minnesota as Corey Brewer scored 19 points and Martin contributed 18. Each time the Jazz threatened to get close in the fourth quarter, J.J. Barea hit big baskets and finished with 15 points to keep the Jazz at bay. "I think we needed that win (on Saturday) and we had a great team effort defensively. It carried on to tonight," Barea said. Gordon Hayward returned from a five-game absence to lead the Jazz with 27 points, but he was the only starter in double figures. The Jazz went 2-3 in Haywards absence, including a 98-72 road loss to Minnesota where Utah set a record for worst field goal percentage in franchise history at 28.8 per cent. "It felt good to be back out there," Hayward said. "But we just didnt get stops tonight. They were too effective offensively." A team that seemed disjointed and frustrated during a three-game losing streak a week ago, the Timberwolves apparently needed a couple of matchups with the Jazz to break out of the funk. The Timberwolves ran crisp sets and were eager to make the extra pass to wide-open teammates. Minnesota led 84-62 at the end of three quarters as it assisted on 23 of its first 30 field goals. Picking up right where they left off on Saturday, the Wolves using a 17-2 run in the first quarter to stake a commanding lead that ballooned to 18 points. Love hit a 3-pointer and Brewer dunked to make the score 30-12 in the first quarter. "I was pleased with the way we came out and controlled the game from beginning to end," Minnesota coach Rick Adelman said. "I thought (the Jazz) would come out with so much energy at the start of the game." Instead the Timberwolves made the Jazz look flat and flustered and soon they were on their way to consecutive wins for the first time since they beat Washington and Milwaukee on Dec. 27-28. Hayward was having the best three-game set of his career before injuring his left hip and being sidelined five games. But he scored early and often despite the layoff. His teammates, though, seemed powerless to stop Minnesotas attack. Alec Burks had 18 points but the Jazz missed starting centre Derrick Favours, who was out with a right hip injury. "Defensively, he protects the rim for us," Utah coach Ty Corbin said. "We missed that." Of course, Minnesotas plan to was get the ball to Love and Pekovic. "We knew we had the advantage against them inside. After last game, we wanted to keep doing that. We had a nice balance of looking at those two guys, plus getting other open looks," Adelman said. After losing 14 of their first 15 games, the Jazz have been playing about .500 and hadnt lost two consecutive since losing to San Antonio and Miami on Dec. 14 and 16. The Timberwolves were again the aggressors against the Jazz and made 22 of 24 free throws. Haywards 3-pointer drew the Jazz 58-47, but Minnesota responded with a 10-0 surge that ended with Martins three-point play. NOTES: The Timberwolves wore their black short-sleeved uniforms. .

Barbosa waited in the cockpit for a tow truck driver to arrive and pull the car back to the garage.It wouldnt drive at all, team manager Gary Nelson said. We fixed it in the dark, so we couldnt get a very good look at it. We found a connector that wasnt connecting, so we re-connected it, but were pretty sure its going to take some more work.Barbosa, along with co-drivers Christian Fittapaldi and Sebastien Bourdais, won the coveted Rolex watches last year. But theres tough competition this year from both of the Chip Ganassi Racing entries, Michael Shank Racing and Wayne Taylor Racing, which has finished second the last two years.Ricky Taylor took his fathers team to the front after overcoming early electrical issues in the Corvette.The team is seeking its first Rolex 24 victory since 2005, when Wayne Taylor still drove the car. Now the driving responsibilities are split between sons Ricky and Jordan, as well as Max Angelelli.Ricky Taylor said the team had fought electrical issues the entire week, and thought it found a fix Friday night.Weve been without traction control all week as well as wheel speed sensor and other issues. The team has been absolutely thrashing, he said after his first driving stint Saturday.Instead, the team learned right before the start of the race it wasnt certain it had been fixed, and Ricky Taylor said something felt funny with the throttle pedal at the start. The traction was again lost.He was able to turn the car off during the first pit stop, plug in updates from the ECU, and suddenly all was well.Now we have a car we can go race with, he said.The Ganassi entries showed good speed, and Scott Dixon took early control of the race in the No. 02 star car. The team lost some ground when Tony Kanaan had to take the Ford to the garage for a new front splitter.It allowed the No. 01 entry from Ganassi to spend some time out front, as well aas the Shank team in its new Ligier JS P2 Honda.ddddddddddddThe Shank team felt strongly it had a solid shot to win the race, and Ozz Negri Jr. wasnt concerned after turning the car over to teammate John Pew. Also driving the Shank car is AJ Allmendinger and newcomer Matt McMurry, a 17-year-old who raced last year at Le Mans.I feel things are looking pretty good, Negri said. We are having a little issue with fuel flow, but weve got the pace and are just looking after the car right now. The car is fast enough to win the race.Shank moved to the Ligier and Honda after using Fords since 2008.Meanwhile, Patrick Dempsey was penalized early in the race to hurt his Porsche teams chances of winning its division.Dempsey was the second driver behind the wheel of the Porsche 911 GT, but he was flagged for improperly passing during a wave around.He has kept a low profile at Daytona since he and wife Jillian Fink announced Friday night they were divorcing after 15 years of marriage. Dempsey had done some press interviews on Friday, but skipped Saturdays driver autograph session and wasnt on the starting grid with his teammates before the race.The penalty on Dempsey dropped his team nine laps behind the leaders, but only six laps down in the GT class.It was another abbreviated run for the notorious DeltaWing.The odd-looking car, which showed impressive speed early, retired after just 42 laps Saturday. The DeltaWing left the track with transmission failure and never returned.It was the second straight year the funky-looking sports car failed to finish at Daytona.The DeltaWing retired after 16 hours in 2014 because of transmission failure and finished 61st out of 67 cars. The car was poised to finish last in the 53-car field this year. The latest run was so short that drivers Gabby Chaves, Katherine Legge and Memo Rojas didnt even get behind the wheel.Andy Meyrick drove the opening stint and was battling the leader before he punctured a tire. He battled back from the setback, but then stalled on the 3.56-mile road course with transmission trouble. The team took it to the garage and never returned.We had had a fast car today, but it was not to be, the team posted on its Twitter page. Proud of the job by the whole team this week. ' ' ' |
