Regular Season Round 79: Minnesota T. - Washington W. 109-97

Date: January 13, 2011
John Wall and the Washington Wizards walked into to Target Center — the arena where losing streaks come to die — fully expecting to finally get that elusive first road victory. Instead, Kevin Love delivered another all-star performance in a season full of them, refusing to let his Minnesota Timberwolves fold in the fourth quarter again. Love had 35 points and 11 rebounds and Darko Milicic added 14 points and 11 rebounds to keep the Wizards winless on the road in Minnesota's 109-97 victory on Thursday night. Love made 13 of 18 shots, including 5 of 6 from three-point range, to help make up for the absence of Michael Beasley, who was out with a sprained left ankle. "It's a tough guard when you've got a 4 man who can shoot the ball," the six-foot-nine Love said. "Six-foot-eight or above and shooting the three-ball like that, its tough to guard." He's been that way all season, leading the NBA in rebounding while shooting .435 on threes, good for 11th in the NBA in when the day began. Wall had 14 points and 10 assists for the Wizards, who fell to 0-19 on the road. They are the only team in the NBA that has yet to win away from home this season. *Courtesy of www.metronews.ca
