(Minneapolis 12/13/05 by Poundmaster) Bonzi Wells unleashed a desperation 3 with .4 seconds on the clock to down the Wolves 93-91 in a game that went down to the wire.

Marko Jeric had a fine game with 16 points and 9 assists.
Earlier, with the score tied 89-89, Trenton Hassell scored on a drive to the bucket, scoring 6 of the last T-Wolves buckets to that moment. The Wolves led 91-89 with 31.1 remaining in the game.
