MINNEAPOLIS -- Soft-spoken and quiet, Luke Ridnour does his job with little fanfare.

 

After sending the Timberwolves to a buzzer-beater victory heading into the All-Star break, he couldn't help but enjoy the moment, at least for a little bit.

 

Ridnour hit a floater in the lane at the buzzer, capping Minnesota's comeback from 16 points down in the fourth quarter as the Timberwolves beat the Utah Jazz 100-98 on Wednesday night.

 

Utah's Al Jefferson sank a jumper with Love in his face to tie the score at 98 with 7 seconds remaining.

 

After a timeout, Ridnour took a pass from J.J. Barea, drove the lane, and sank a high-arching runner off of one leg over Jefferson as the buzzer sounded.

 

"Luke knocks that down all the time," Wolves coach Rick Adelman said. "The floater, he knows he's got to get it off before he gets to the big guys. That was unbelievable, in traffic, getting around the guy and knocking it down. Couldn't be happier for him."
