Regular Season Round 133: Minnesota T. - N.Orleans H. 97-95

Date: March 17, 2013
Minneapolis - On their last visit to the Target Center last month, the New Orleans Hornets suffered an embarrassing 29-point loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. They came back Sunday and suffered yet another gut-wrenching defeat. With six-tenths of a second remaining, Hornets shooting guard Eric Gordon’s layup attempt was blocked by forward Andrei Kirilenko, enabling the Timberwolves to pull out a 97-95 victory. On the Hornets’ final play, guard Roger Mason Jr., shot an air ball. After Gordon missed a jumper with 28.9 seconds remaining the Timberwolves answered. Center Nikola Pekovic was fouled and he made two free throws with 14 seconds remaining to give the Timberwolves a 96-95 lead. It was the Hornets’ sixth consecutive road defeat. Hornets guard Greivis Vasquez led the Hornets with 24 points, Robin Lopez had 20 and Anthony Davis had 17. Despite leading by as many as eight points in the first half, the Hornets committed seven turnovers in the third quarter and allowed a 10-2 run that helped the Timberwolves close out the third quarter with a 76-73 lead. It was tightly played throughout the fourth quarter with Ryan Anderson giving the Hornets a brief 85-83 lead before Rubio’s 21-footer tied the score at 85 with 5:48 remaining. After Derrick Williams made two free throw to put the Timberwolves back ahead by two, Vasquez made consecutive 3-pointers to extend the Hornets’ lead to 91-88. With 2:05 remaining, Williams’ three-point play cut the Hornets’ lead to 93-91. Williams finished with a game-high 28 points. Gordon finished with just seven points on three-of-six shooting.
