MIAMI -- Making one free throw at the end of regulation wasnt enough for the Miami Heat, nor was making just one again at the end of the first overtime. Sheldon Richardson Vikings Jersey . In the second extra session, one made all the difference for Minnesota. Corey Brewer hit one of two free throws with 1.8 seconds left after getting a call on an awkward-looking play, and that was enough to help the Timberwolves escape a three-hour thriller with a 122-121 victory over the Heat on Friday night. "Great call," Brewer said. "He pushed my back." Kevin Love scored 28 points and grabbed 11 rebounds for Minnesota, which got 24 from Chase Budinger, 15 from Gorgui Dieng and 13 apiece from JJ Barea and Ricky Rubio, who also added 14 assists. Referee Ken Mauer called the last foul on Miamis Norris Cole, who was guarding Brewer near the basket as a pass was coming his way. "You just want to see the players decide it at the end," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said calmly after the game. "I didnt get a good look at the replay. ... Still, we had many more opportunities to close that game out." Ray Allen missed a wild jumper as time expired for Miami, which blew a chance to move two games clear of Indiana in the loss column atop the Eastern Conference standings. "We gutted one out," Love said. "This was a fun win." LeBron James scored 34 points for the Heat, who got a season-high 24 from Mario Chalmers and 24 more from Chris Bosh, including a tying 3-pointer with 10.8 seconds left in the second overtime. James said he wanted the last shot. Its the second straight end-of-game play where Miami didnt go to James when trailing. "Its a little frustrating," James said, wearing a Pharrell Williams-esque mountain hat at his locker after the game. "Im a little over it right now, but right after the game I was a little frustrated." Miami went 24 for 30 from the line, but three of those six misses proved particularly costly. James missed one of two free throws with 16.2 seconds to go, and Chalmers missed the first of two on his trips to the line in the final seconds of both regulation and the first overtime. "We had our chances," Spoelstra said. "Either a key stop, one less turnover, a free throw here or there, we had our opportunities. They made one last play." Said Chalmers, who was 8 for 10 from the line: "I missed the two most important ones." The Heat (52-23, .693) remained percentage points ahead of Indiana (53-24, .688), which lost earlier Friday night at Toronto, 102-94. Regulation and the first overtime ended in virtually the same fashion. With Minnesota up by one and Miami in desperation mode, Chalmers would make the second of two free throws -- with 3.9 seconds left in the fourth, then with 1.9 seconds left in the first extra session -- to tie the game, followed by the Heat watching a potential winning jumper by Love bounce off the rim. But Love hit a clutch 3-pointer in the second OT, helping swing the tide one last time. "Hes one of a kind," Rubio said. "We try to look for him all the time. He made tough shots. He gave us the game." There were nine lead changes in the entirety of regulation. There were 10 in the first OT alone. Budingers fifth 3-pointer of the night put Minnesota up 107-106 late in the first extra period. Bosh fought for an offensive rebound on the next Miami possession, wound up getting fouled and coolly making a pair of free throws to give the Heat a one-point edge. Minnesota called its next play for Love, who backed Bosh down and connected on a jump hook to reclaim that one-point lead. But Chalmers wound up drawing another foul, hit the second shot and off to double-overtime they went. By then, it was obvious that whichever team lost was going to have a long night of lamenting missed opportunities. "To get a win like this on the road against the world champions, it says a lot," Minnesota coach Rick Adelman said. NOTES: Allen returned from a five-game absence caused by the flu. ... Miami was again without Dwyane Wade (hamstring) and Greg Oden (back spasms). ... It was Rubios first time playing at Miami. ... Minnesota was again without C Nikola Pekovic (ankle), who has missed 21 of the Timberwolves last 31 games. ... A foul by Budinger saved Minnesota two points late in the third; he hit James on a play where Allen made a 3-pointer. After review, Allens 3 was correctly taken off the board and James only made one of his two ensuing free throws. Kendall Wright Jersey . Watch the announcement live on TSN.ca at 12:30pm et/9:30am pt.

Anaheim is 6-0 this month and recently completed a home-and-home sweep of the Edmonton Oilers. The Ducks recorded a 2-1 home win over the Oilers on Wednesday before notching Fridays 4-2 triumph in Edmonton. Another victory tonight would match Anaheims longest winning streak of the season. The Ducks won seven straight from Oct. 11-24. The Ducks, who also have won nine of their last 11 outings, lead the NHL with 45 points, putting them four points ahead of four other teams in the race for the Presidents Trophy. Anaheim also holds a seven-point edge over Vancouver for the top spot in the Pacific Division. Fridays victory kicked off a five-game road trip for the Ducks and improved the clubs away record to 10-3-2. Anaheim led 3-0 at one point in the home- and-home finale before holding on for the victory. Kyle Palmieri and Ryan Getzlaf scored in a 44-second span in the opening minute of the second period to hand the Ducks their 3-0 cushion, but Edmonton would battle back to make it a one-goal game. The Oilers received a goal late in the second from Tyler Pitlick before Jeff Petrys power-play tally made it a 3-2 contest at 12:40 of the third. Nate Thompson would eventually seal the win for the Ducks with his empty-net tally with 16.9 seconds remaining. Sami Vatanen also scored for the Ducks and Frederik Andersen picked up a 21- save victory.. We let them back into the game. We battled hard those last eight minutes and gutteed out a win, said Ducks forward Ryan Kesler. Trevor Siemian Jersey. The Ducks have lost six of their last eight games against the Jets, including a 4-3 overtime setback Sunday in Winnipeg. Anaheim has lost four of its last six road games in this series dating back to when the Jets were still known as the Atlanta Thrashers. Evander Kane is due back for the Jets tonight after the forward served a two- game suspension for boarding Anaheims Clayton Stoner in Sundays contest. Although the Jets lost their last time out they still enter tonights battle on an eight-game point streak. Winnipeg is 5-0-3 during the stretch and hasnt lost in regulation since a 4-2 home setback against St. Louis on Nov. 23. The Jets dropped a 4-3 shootout decision in Colorado Avalanche on Thursday despite holding a two-goal lead early in the third period. Winnipeg went ahead 3-1 on Mark Scheifeles goal 4:32 into the third, but Jarome Iginla and Ryan OReilly tallied late in the period to send the game to an extra session. After a scoreless overtime, Nathan MacKinnon and Matt Duchene scored on Colorados first two chances in the shootout. Calvin Pickard then stopped both Winnipeg attempts to seal the win for the Avs. Colorados netminder also made two huge stops in overtime to send the game to the tie-breaker. Scheifele added two assists and Ondrej Pavelec made 23 saves for Winnipeg. I thought their goalie was really good, Jets head coach Paul Maurice said. We seem to get to overtime with this team an awful lot. Tonights tilt begins a four-game homestand for the Jets, who are 6-5-2 at MTS Centre this season.
