Posted by Jeff Sack under NBA Game Recap 

Just 25 games into the campaign it has already been a long tough season for the Minnesota Timberwolves. When you go 3-21 in your first 24 the season is not going to provide you with a whole lot of highlights. However they had plenty of them in game 25 in Utah as they played the Jazz Monday night. As a matter of fact; they were in like Flynn! Jonny Flynn that is who led the T-Wolves with 28 points including scoring the winning basket as Minnesota squeaked by Utah 110-108. 

Flynn was one of four Timberwolves players in double figures; three of whom exceed 20 points each while Kevin Love and Al Jefferson would record  double-doubles in the victory. The win stopped a Minnesota losing streak and came despite a brilliant game from Jazz point guard Deron Williams who scored 38 points.

This game stayed pretty tight all night and was truly not decided until the contest’s closing seconds. Utah would take the advantage at the end of the first as they were on top 33-30. The game would remain close in the second although Utah was able to extend their margin of comfort by the time the game reached the half as they led 55-51.

Minnesota would pull ahead in the third as they held the Jazz to just 17 points in the period and took the lead heading into the fourth with the score 88-82. Utah slowly and methodically dug their way out of the hole they had put themselves in and  would take their first lead of the period at 104-103 as Williams drained an outside jumper with 3:46 left to play. The two opponents would trade the lead back and forth until with 3 seconds to play Flynn drove the lane putting the rock up and in and giving the T-Wolves the winning bucket.
