MINNEAPOLIS -- Kevin Love and the Minnesota Timberwolves are finally starting to show a few signs of putting something together as another long, miserable season winds down.

 

And it looks as if the Utah Jazz are falling apart just in time to let a playoff spot slip away.

 

Love had 24 points and 12 rebounds and the Timberwolves rolled to a 122-101 victory over the sputtering Jazz on Friday night.

 

Love extended the longest double-double streak since 1973-74 to 53 straight games and Michael Beasley scored 23 points for the Timberwolves, who snapped an incredible 20-game losing streak to Northwest Division opponents.

 

"This means something for us, especially at this time of the year," said Darko Milicic, who had 14 points and six rebounds and shut down Utah's Al Jefferson. "It's almost the end of the season and we're kind of a struggling team that's not going to make the playoffs. We all know that. We know we're going to go home April 13.

 

"It shows something about us that we can come out against teams fighting for playoff spots and give them a good fight."

 

Gordon Hayward scored 18 points for the new-look Jazz, who have lost 10 of their last 13 games and are in danger of falling out of the playoff picture in the Western Conference.
