Regular Season Round 58: Minnesota T. - Utah Jazz 107-112

Date: December 22, 2010
No deficit is too big for the Utah Jazz to overcome and no lead is too great for the Minnesota Timberwolves to squander. That much has been clear all season, especially Wednesday night. Al Jefferson had 23 points, nine rebounds and seven blocks against his former team and Jerry Sloan moved into sole possession of third place on the career victories list in the Jazz's 112-107 victory over the Timberwolves. Jefferson scored 21 points in the second half and Deron Williams added 25 points, seven assists and seven rebounds for the Jazz, who came back from 12 points down at the start of the fourth quarter. ``We make it hard for ourselves,' Jefferson said. ``Hey, that shows that we don't give up and that shows that we can get it from somewhere, and that's what we did tonight.' Sloan picked up victory No. 1,211 to break a tie with Pat Riley for third on the career list. Only Don Nelson (1,335) and Lenny Wilkens (1,332) have more victories in NBA history. ``I'm more proud of the win. I'm not in to numbers and stuff like that,' Sloan said. ``I never have been. I've got a great organization to work for that's given me an opportunity to stay there for a long time. I'm very thankful for that and the coaches that I have with me. It's not about me, it's more about what we try to do as a staff.' Kevin Love had 25 points and 19 rebounds and Michael Beasley added 24 points and 10 rebounds for the Wolves. They have lost seven straight games and 15 of their last 17 to take their usual place in the Northwest Division cellar. *Courtesy of www.comcast.net
