Okur's 22 lead Jazz over Timberwolves (AP)

With six games remaining against teams in playoff contention, the last thing the Jazz needed was a draining game against the lowly Timberwolves. Mehmet Okur made sure Utah had a relatively easy night. Okur made four 3-pointers and scored 22 points, leading the Jazz to a 117-100 win over Minnesota. He scored 19 of points and made three 3-pointers in the second half.

Jefferson had 26 points and 20 rebounds, and Gomes added 25 points and 10 rebounds to help the Timberwolves to a 83-67 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday night.

Joe Johnson's 18-footer at the buzzer lifted the Atlanta Hawks to a 90-89 victory over the league-worst Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday night. Minnesota, which lost its fifth straight to drop to 2-15, had a one-point lead after Marko Jaric's laying with 2.2 seconds left. However, after an Atlanta timeout, Johnson took the inbound pass at the top of the key and dribbled to his right past...

Antoine Walker joked that Minnesota Timberwolves teammate Marko Jaric was "overachieving." The reference was not to the guard's recent hot shooting, but that the native of Serbia is dating Brazilian supermodel Adriana Lima. The romance certainly hasn't hurt Jaric's play. He scored 21 points and the Timberwolves protected a big lead for a change to get their second victory of the season, 103-94 over...

Give this one to Dwight Howard -- barely. In a matchup of two of the best young power forwards in the game, Howard edged his classmate Al Jefferson, scoring 28 points and grabbing 16 rebounds in Orlando's 111-103 victory over winless Minnesota on Tuesday night. Carlos Arroyo had 18 points and six assists in place of an injured Jameer Nelson and Rashard Lewis scored nine of his 27 points in the...
