Considering their icy cold record against the Jazz this season, the Minnesota Timberwolves seemed due for a little wake-up call from their dreamy success of late.

Minnesota, after all, had won four straight prior to Wednesday night ? its last loss coming Feb. 17 at Utah. The Timberwolves had won 14 in a row at Target Center ? their last loss at home coming Jan. 4 to Utah. The Jazz also won the other game between the two at the Delta Center this season, sending them to Minneapolis this time in search of a series sweep.
     
So much for precedent.
