Foye leads Timberwolves to third straight win
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Randy Foye assured the Minnesota Timberwolves would achieve their longest winning streak in two years.
Foye scored 23 points, including the go-ahead 3-pointer with 40 seconds left, and the Timberwolves weathered a late rally to beat the Memphis Grizzlies 94-87 Tuesday night.
Following his basket, Foye blocked O.J. Mayo’s shot on the next Memphis possession, leading to a fast-break basket by Ryan Gomes, and the Timberwolves secured their third straight win — the first time they’ve won three in a row since January 2007.
‘‘It was defense, rebounding and communicating,’’ Foye said of pulling away after the Grizzlies pulled even at 87. ‘‘We just had to clamp down on defense.’’
Al Jefferson added 19 points, 12 rebounds and four blocks for Minnesota. Craig Smith had 15 points, Gomes 14 and Sebastian Telfair finished with 10 points and nine assists.
