As the Memphis Grizzlies were gnawing away at the Timberwolves' lead Saturday night, with the announced crowd of 15,608 at Target Center hoping but perhaps not really believing, it was starting to look like so many games had before: big lead, sizable collapse. But not this time. With Ricky Rubio leading the way all night, the Wolves scored the final five points of the game — all from the free-throw line — to win 106-101. 沒被擊倒，儘管不斷被一拳拳重擊，這次沒被擊倒藉著Rubio的領導與最後的5顆罰球 This after the Wolves had built a 16-point lead in the second quarter, owned an 11-point lead at halftime and maintained a 10-point lead entering the fourth quarter. The Wolves, who have squandered so many of these leads this season, put this one in the bank. But not without some drama. 從中場結束到第四節開場都有維持著10幾分的領先，更重要的是最後比賽結束灰狼沒再一次讓分數背叛了他們 "Today we finished," rookie center Karl-Anthony Towns said. "今天有做好做滿" 灰狼中鋒Towns在賽後如此說道 And it felt good. The Wolves came out of this victory feeling they had both found a way to win a tight game and also had rediscovered the kind of ball movement they had early in the season, when the team started 8-8. 從開季8勝8敗後這支球隊在場上就打得荒腔走板度日如年 The Wolves scored 21 fast-break points, all in the first half, 15 coming in a brilliant second quarter in which they had a 20-1 run filled with good defense, great ball movement and athletic finishes. 漂亮的防守、迅捷的傳導與得分促使球隊上半場獲得21分的快攻取分，其中的15分發生在第二節20比1令人激賞的對陣當中 And, in the end, they held firm, picking up their first victory against a team with a winning record since beating Atlanta Nov. 25. "We learned a lot in the Dallas game," interim coach Sam Mitchell said, referring to Wednesday's overtime road loss, when the Wolves led by 10 in the fourth quarter. "We got good shots and trusted each other and moved the ball. … It seemed like every time they hit a big shot we came down and hit a basket. And we did it by moving the basketball. That's what I'm happy about.'' "對小牛打到延長賽的那次輸球讓我們學習到教訓與獲得更大的蛻變成長，這不僅僅在投射能力與對球的流動傳導也包括隊友間的凝聚力更向上提升，不再窘迫於對手在分數上的步步進逼而能去沉著以對，我對此感至欣慰" Sam Mitchell對這場比賽的結果做出回應 Rubio scored 15 points. He had seven in a row during that 20-1 run, and he hit three of four free throws down the stretch. He also had 12 assists for the Wolves (14-31), who won for the second consecutive time at home. 第二節灰狼20比1取分其中7分是Rubio所贊助的，甚至到關鍵第四節當兩隊比分僵持不下時也用4投3中的罰球去拉開比分差距，並繳出12次助攻的紀錄，此次勝利功勞著時要讓他記上一大筆，另外這次勝利是主場二連勝 Shabazz Muhammad scored a season-high 25 points. Andrew Wiggins added 19, including two game-sealing free throws. Towns had 14 points on 6-for-6 shooting while pushing and shoving with Memphis center Marc Gasol all night. 中鋒沙巴以25分的成績領跑灰狼團隊，次之為Wiggins的19分，其中最後罰球取得的這2分也為比賽鎖住勝利，當然也不能忘記勞勞看守住Gasol的Towns，尤其今天6次投籃6球中框的成績 Mario Chalmers scored 19 points to lead Memphis (25-20), which saw a four-game winning streak end. Gasol had 17, Matt Barnes 13. .........................灰熊球員有得分喔.......................... But it looked to be slipping away late, when that 10-point Wolves lead vanished into a 101-101 tie after Gasol's 9-footer with 1:28 left. 第四節灰熊不住的攻勢令比分邁進101-101的僵持時刻 The Wolves then missed two three-pointers, and Barnes missed at the other end. Rubio was then fouled as he tried to drive on Mike Conley and hit one of two free throws with 35.1 seconds left. 關鍵時刻灰狼兩記三分不進，灰熊也錯失一記超前三分，取得球權的Rubio藉此機會取下一次犯規判罰2投1中 Then came the big play. Out of a timeout, Memphis' Jeff Green was unable to inbound the ball, thanks in large part to Towns denying Gasol the pass. The five-second violation gave the ball back to the Wolves. 關鍵時刻灰熊的發球失誤加上Towns的強大防守 With 14.9 seconds left, Rubio hit two more free throws, and after Conley missed a short jumper, Wiggins sealed the game with two free throws with 5.4 seconds to go. 關鍵時刻Rubio的罰球與Conley的不進與Wiggins的決定性罰球 Finally, the Wolves slammed the door. 最後，灰狼隊取得勝利果實... "I know it's frustrating for the fans to see we keep getting close and don't always win it," Mitchell said. "But they're young. The thing that I'm proud of and the thing I feel very confident about going forward is that the more opportunities they keep giving themselves to learn now to win, eventually we're going to learn it." "雖然比賽接近尾聲時有些曲曲折折，那是他們還並非足夠成熟去懂得該怎麼贏得比賽，但他們已漸漸了解該如何去打一場比賽去贏得一場球賽，對此我感到驕傲" Mitchell為他執教的球隊評論到 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 111.184.148.53 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Timberwolves/M.1453636518.A.084.html
