The Timberwolves offense has been buzzing this past week, but a Heat team without Jimmy Butler shut them down on Sunday night. Then, some late-game mistakes resulted in a 95-94 loss to Miami at Target Center.

The Wolves couldn’t overcome an 8-for-24 night from Anthony Edwards, who finished with 24 points. They were in a position to win late on, but could not close out the match in the final minute.

The Wolves led 92-90 when Mike Conley and Julius Randle failed to connect on a pass, leading to a breakaway for Heat guard Terry Rozier. After a foul by Jaden McDaniels, Rozier hit both free throws to tie the score at 92-92 with 30 seconds left.

Conley missed a three, but McDaniels came in from the right side for a flying putback with 9 seconds left. He hit the bucket and fouled Haywood Highsmith. Miami, which was without Butler because of a sprained ankle suffered Friday, challenged the play to challenge the foul and the officials overturned it, but the basket remained standing.

After a timeout in Miami, disaster struck for the Wolves. Nikola Jovic got free on a screen and Nickeil Alexander-Walker fouled him as he hit a layup. That gave the Heat a 95-94 lead with 7.8 seconds to play.

Just before the game, Chris Finch picked off center Rudy Gobert and set up a small lineup with Conley back on the floor.

Conley missed the final shot just before time expired when Edwards inbounded the ball with 3.7 seconds to play after a Miami foul. Edwards coming in seemingly took him out of the play.

Miami set the tone early with its hustle defensively and ability to transition in the first quarter. The Heat held Edwards to 2-for-9 shooting in the first quarter and took advantage of the Wolves’ 7-for-25 shooting performance to rack up nine fast-break points. This gave Miami a 27-20 lead after the first.
