MINNEAPOLIS -- Soft-spoken and quiet, Luke Ridnour does his job with little fanfare. After sending the Timberwolves to a buzzer-beater victory heading into the All-Star break, he couldnt help but enjoy the moment, at least for a little bit. Ridnour hit a floater in the lane at the buzzer, capping Minnesotas comeback from 16 points down in the fourth quarter as the Timberwolves beat the Utah Jazz 100-98 on Wednesday night. Utahs Al Jefferson sank a jumper with Love in his face to tie the score at 98 with 7 seconds remaining. After a timeout, Ridnour took a pass from J.J. Barea, drove the lane, and sank a high-arching runner off of one leg over Jefferson as the buzzer sounded. "Luke knocks that down all the time," Wolves coach Rick Adelman said. "The floater, he knows hes got to get it off before he gets to the big guys. That was unbelievable, in traffic, getting around the guy and knocking it down. Couldnt be happier for him." Ridnour said the play was for Barea to attack off the pick-and-roll, but two Utah defenders switched and took that option away so Barea found Ridnour. "Yeah, I thought it was going in," Ridnour said. "To see it go in was a good feeling." Barea finished with a season-high 22 points and tied a career high with five 3-pointers, and Ridnour added 17 points. Nikola Pekovic, playing through an ankle injury, added 15 points and 12 rebounds. Paul Millsap scored 25 and Josh Howard added a season-high 19 to lead the Jazz, who lost their third straight and stumble into the All-Star break. "Its a tough one, just hands down," Howard said. "Thats something thats going to be on your mind for a little bit." Wolves rookie Derrick Williams converted a three-point play with 56.7 seconds left to tie the score at 93, then got fouled attempting a fastbreak layup after Loves steal. Williams made both free throws with 42.5 seconds left to give Minnesota its first lead since 2-0, and the Timberwolves didnt trail again. "I like to get put in those clutch situations," Williams said. "I feel a little more comfortable, a little more locked in. At that point in time, I was just like, I cant miss these free throws." Gordon Hayward had a chance to tie it with 28.7 seconds to play, but missed the second of two free throws. The Wolves enter the All-Star break at .500 or better for the first time since the 2004-05 season. Their 17 wins matches their total from last season. Consecutive 3-pointers from Barea and Ridnour cut Utahs lead to 91-90 with just over two minutes to play. Ridnour also made two free throws with 26.3 seconds left to extend Minnesotas lead to 97-94. The Wolves have fallen behind by 14 or more points in 12 of their last 21 games, but are 12-9 over that stretch. Their latest comeback was their largest of the season. "Anytime youre on the road and you let a team back in it, they start thinking they can make shots and they start playing harder on defence," Hayward said. "It just cant happen." Utah led by as many as 18 and kept pounding the ball inside to stay ahead. The Jazz -- second in the NBA in points in the paint per game -- finished with 58 points inside. The Jazz lost their third straight and fourth consecutive on the road. Theyve had two road losing streaks of four or more games this season and have lost eight of their last 10 overall. "Its disheartening to us, but you have to learn through it," Utah coach Tyrone Corbin said. "We play well enough to win these games, but we have to learn how to finish. Its real painful now and it should hurt. Coming out of the All-Star break we have to learn our lessons so we dont make these mistakes." Howard started for Raja Bell, who missed the game with a strained left adductor. Minnesota shot just 31 per cent in the first half with their starting frontcourt of Love, Pekovic and Wes Johnson going a combined 2 for 19. The Wolves finished the game on a 33-15 run and shot 52.4 per cent in the fourth quarter. "Our goal was to get to .500 at the break a couple weeks ago when we were four or five games under and we were able to do that," Ridnour said. We understand what we have in the second half of the season with the tough schedule, but just to put yourself in a chance to make the playoffs, getting to .500 is big." NOTES: Minnesota trailed 83-67 with 9:36 left before rallying to win. Its the largest lead the Wolves have overcome that late into a game since Feb. 27, 1997, at Dallas. ...

The Sharks centre scored twice in the second period as San Jose defeated the Calgary Flames 4-1. The 33-year-old from Aneroid, Sask., has scored 30 or more goals in four consecutive seasons and has six overall in his career. "You dont normally get your first goal in January," Marleau said. "It was great to be back, even though it was their home opener. Just to be in the rink and have fans cheering was something special." Martin Havlat and defenceman Dan Boyle also scored for the Sharks, who spoiled the debut of new Flames coach Bob Hartley. Joe Thornton and Joe Pavelski each chipped in with a pair of assists for San Jose. Antti Niemi made 31 saves to get the win. Calgary counterpart Miikka Kiprusoff, playing in his 600th career game, made 25 saves. Lee Stempniaks power-play goal in the first period was all the offence the home side could muster. The Flames outplayed San Jose in the opening period with a 16-9 edge in shots, a couple of chances that rang off the post and a Mikael Backlund breakaway foiled by Niemi. San Jose recovered to outshoot the Flames 14-4 in the second period and took advantage of loose defence around Kiprusoff to score three times from close range. "That first period was a little bit of a shock, but after that the guys fell into it and you get into a rhythm," Marleau said. "Its going to be a learning curve, a little bit of rust for all teams. "You try and get those points as quick as possible, especially with a shortened season." The Flames were greeted warmly at Scotiabank Saddledome. Attendance was not announced, but a Flames spokesman said it was a sellout at 19,289. There were a few pairs of empty seats, however, and the odd string of three and four vacant. One glaring indicator of fan discontent was a sign in the lower bowl that read "We were held hostage by greed", but the sign disappeared after one period. As other NHL teams have done at home-openers to soothe the feelings of jaded fans post-lockout, the Flames deeply discounted food, drink and merchandise Sunday. The Saddledome stores were doing a brisk business 90 minutes prior to the game. The Flames also guaranteed a minimum $50,000 payout to the wiinner of the 50-50 draw Sunday and for Mondays game versus the Anaheim Ducks.dddddddddddd Calgary did not apologize for the lockout as some teams did, but instead expressed appreciation for their fans loyalty prior to the game. The Flames pressed in the third period with 12 shots to San Joses six, but Niemi held off Calgarys charge. With Calgarys Curtis Glencross and Sven Baertschi serving coincidental minors late in the third period, Boyle scored a power-play goal on a two-man advantage with a minute remaining. "We had everything in place for a great game but the bottom line, we played 40 minutes," Hartley said. "We have to show more consistency." San Jose scored two power-play goals on six chances, while Calgary went 1-for-3. "We werent our best, put it that way," Thornton said. "Weve still got a lot of work to do and we realize that, but starting on the road and getting the first win was huge." The Sharks captain said the previous day, when most NHL teams were in action, felt like the eve of the post-season because he and his teammates were anxious to play. "Everybody is kind of relieved its back and hockeys back," Thornton said. "Last night, it kind of felt like playoffs were going to start because everyone was kind of gathered around watching hockey, which is a little bit strange." The Flames were without off-season acquisitions Jiri Hudler and Roman Cervenka on Sunday. Hudler attended his fathers funeral in the Czech Republic on Friday and Hartley did not know when the forward would return. Cervenka, another Czech forward, has yet to be cleared to play because of anti-coagulant medication he took following the discovery of blood clots. Sharks defenceman Brent Burns was out of the Sharks lineup with a "lower-body injury." Forward Scott Gomez, recently bought out of his contract by the Montreal Canadiens, skated with the Sharks during their optional pre-game skate Sunday. Notes: Pavelski extended his streak of two points in San Jose season-openers to four straight years. ... Calgary hosts the Ducks on Monday before heading to Vancouver on Wednesday for three games in four nights to start the lockout-shortened season. ... San Jose is in Edmonton on Tuesday to face the Oilers. The Sharks dont play their home-opener until Thursday against Phoenix. cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys \' \' \'
