Bucks Edge Timberwolves 98-95

The Timberwolves lost 98-95 at Milwaukee Tuesday night to fall to 0-2 on the season.  Minnesota trailed by more than 20 points but Kevin Love’s missed 3-point shot at the buzzer would have forced overtime.  Love led the Wolves with 31 points and 20 rebounds and Luke Ridnour added 17 points.

Ricky Rubio had 6 points and 4 assists in 27 minutes for Minnesota.  J.J. Barea had 9 points but left the game early with a hamstring injury.  The Wolves committed 25 turnovers.  Wolves head coach Rick Adelman did not attend the game and instead attended the funeral of his mother-in-law.  Terry Porter filled in as head coach.  The Wolves host Miami at 7pm Friday night, pregame on AM 1390-the Fan at 6:30.
