Clippers 114, Minnesota 104 Darren Collison scored 16 of his season-high 28 points during a third-quarter blitz and DeAndre Jordan hauled down a career-high 24 rebounds as Los Angeles downed the Timberwolves, 114-104, on Monday night at Target Center. The Clippers led 26-22 after one quarter but Minnesota went ahead 43-37 on Robbie Hummel's 3-pointer at the 4:25 mark of the second. Chris Paul reclaimed the lead with 1:05 left and L.A. went into halftime clinging to a 54-51 advantage. Gorgui Dieng put the Wolves in front for the final time early in the third period, but after a Ricky Rubio trey kept Minnesota within 63-62, the Clippers exploded for a 25-2 barrage over the next six minutes. Collison and Jared Dudley combined for 16 points in that stretch, which ended with L.A. opening its largest lead of the night at 88-64 on Collison's layup with 1:43 left. The Wolves' reserves scrambled back to within eight on a Chase Budinger dunk in the final two minutes, but Los Angeles sealed the victory with eight free throws.

Corey Brewer's last-second basket rallied Minnesota to within 59-54 at halftime, then the Wolves outscored Brooklyn 15-4 at the start of the third quarter to take their largest lead of the night at 69-63. However, Joe Johnson had eight points during a 17-4 response that put the Nets in front, and they carried a slim 85-82 advantage into the fourth.

DIENG EARNS ROOKIE HONOR: On Tuesday, Timberwolves center Gorgui Dieng was named the NBA's Western Conference Rookie of the Month for games played in March. Dieng, the 21st overall pick in the 2013 NBA Draft, ranked 2nd among all rookies in rebounding (8.3 rpg) and 5th in the West in scoring (8.6 ppg) while shooting 61.3% from the floor in 14 March contests. He began a string of six consecutive starts with a 12-point, 11-rebound, five-block effort in the Mar. 16 win over Sacramento, becoming the first player since Dwight Howard in 2004 to notch a double-double with 4+ blocks in his first NBA start. He collected five point/rebound double-doubles in total, highlighted by registering season highs of 22 points, 21 rebounds and four assists Mar. 20 at Houston, and was Minnesota's top rebounder on six occasions. Dieng is the fifth rookie in franchise history to earn the monthly award, joining Stephon Marbury (January 1997), Randy Foye (December 2006), Kevin Love (March 2009) and Ricky Rubio (January 2012).

TRIPLE LINDY: Kevin Love registered his first career triple-double in the Feb. 22 victory at Utah, becoming the 10th player in Wolves history to accomplish that feat.

THE BOARD REPORT: Minnesota outrebounded the Lakers 49-26 on Mar. 28, their largest margin of the season and seventh double-digit advantage overall; they enjoyed a 54-33 cushion vs. Charlotte on Jan. 10… On the flipside, the Bobcats posted a 54-35 edge on Mar. 14, the largest margin the Wolves have faced this year; they've come up short in 20 of the past 31 contests… That stretch began with a 50-40 deficit at Portland on Jan. 25; before that, Minnesota had been outboarded in just seven of its previous 37… Oklahoma City posted a 45-40 edge on Jan. 4, the first time Minnesota had fallen short at home since Nov. 6 vs. Golden State… The Wolves rank 7th in total rebound pct (.512), 8th in offensive rebound pct (.274) and 12th in defensive rebound pct (.750)… They've compiled a +0.9 rpg advantage for the year (44.9-44.0), but are being outboarded by -4.4 rpg (41.2-45.6) in the past 13 contests…

THIEVERY CORPORATION: Minnesota tallied 32 points off 26 Atlanta TOs on Mar. 26, the fifth time this year they've scored 30+ (season best is 37 at Houston on Nov. 23)… The Hawks' 26 TOs tie the most Minnesota has forced in 2013-14 (one of 19 times they've generated 20+)…The season-high 17-steal effort vs. Atlanta is one of 26 times the Wolves have reached double digits; they had 29 such games a year ago, which was their top total since 2000-01… Ricky Rubio and Corey Brewer have combined for 299 steals, the most-prolific duo in the NBA this year (Thaddeus Young/Michael Carter-Williams are 2nd with 277)… The Wolves committed a season-low five TOs Dec. 27 vs. Washington; however, they're averaging 19.3 TOs in the past four games, after coughing it up just 11.3 times per contest in the previous 10… Minnesota ranks 5th in the NBA in fewest TOs (13.8 per game) and 3rd in TOs forced (16.3)…

THE NOISE IS WORKING: Monday's game wrapped up the 18th of 21 back-to-back sets for the Wolves in 2013-14; they're 11-7 in the openers and 4-14 on the tail ends of back-to-backs thus far… Minnesota concluded a five-game road trip Mar. 3 in Denver; meanwhile, tonight's contest caps a four-week stretch that has seen them play 10 of 15 at home… On the other hand, starting with the Dec. 28 win at Milwaukee, the Wolves have gone 10-11 on the road but are just 12-11 at Target Center… The Mar. 14 game at Charlotte completed a run of five straight vs. Eastern foes… The Feb. 8 game vs. Portland finished the second of two four-games-in-five-nights grinds for Minnesota (also Nov. 19-23)… Seven of the Wolves' first eight in March were vs. sub-.500 opponents; however, starting with the Mar. 19 victory in Dallas, 12 of Minnesota's final 16 contests will be against teams currently sporting winning records…

* * * WOLF TRACKS: Minnesota ended 2012-13 with a 31-51 record, its highest victory total since finishing 32-50 in 2006-07; this year's winning percentage (.378) fell short of the .394 (26-40) mark the Wolves compiled a season ago… Minnesota's season was highlighted by two wins apiece vs. San Antonio, Oklahoma City and Denver, the Western Conference's top three teams record-wise… Minnesota has now missed the postseason in nine straight seasons, after advancing to the playoffs every year from 1996-97 through 2003-04 (eight)… The current absence is the longest active postseason drought; Sacramento (seven), Toronto (five) and Washington (five) are next on that list… The Wolves began the season 16-15 (through Jan. 8), then endured a 7-28 stretch (Jan. 9-Mar. 21) before splitting their final 16 contests… The 107-101 home win over Detroit on Apr. 6 marked Rick Adelman's 1000th victory as an NBA head coach… Minnesota closed with four wins in its final seven away from Target Center, including a season-high three-game road winning streak (Mar. 22-26-Apr. 3)… The wins at Detroit (105-82 on Mar. 26) and Phoenix (117-86 on Mar. 22) marked the first time in club history that the Wolves have registered 20-point victories in consecutive road games… The final 31-point spread at Phoenix equals the second-largest road win in franchise history (and ties the 10th-largest overall); they won by 35 at Philadelphia (119-84) on Dec. 8, 2004… Prior to the three-game road winning streak, Minnesota had suffered through an 11-week stretch that saw them drop 17 of 18 road games; the Feb. 11 victory at Cleveland bisected droughts of eight (Jan. 9-Feb. 10) and nine games (Feb. 22-Mar. 21)… Memphis pulled away for a 99-86 win on Mar. 30 at Target Center… Minnesota took a 67-65 lead into the fourth period before being outscored 34-19 by the Grizzlies; they dropped 13 games when leading after three (second behind Cleveland's 14) and lost 18 games after building leads of 10+ points… Houston spotted the Wolves a 20-point, 3rd-quarter cushion before rallying to win 108-100 on Mar. 15; it's the biggest lead Minnesota let slip away this year and the 13th time in franchise history they've lost after building a lead of 20+ points…

SCHEDULE NOTES: Minnesota enjoyed a 5-5 final month, after compiling a 1-26 record over its previous three Aprils… The Apr. 17 triumph at San Antonio marked the Wolves' first victory in a season finale in five years (110-101 OT vs. Milwaukee, Apr. 16, 2008), and also halted a 16-game losing streak at the AT&T Center that dated to January 2004… Minnesota faced four groupings of four-games-in-five-nights this season, including three in the final five weeks (Mar. 9-13, Mar. 26-30, Apr. 9-13)… The Mar. 30 game vs. Memphis completed Minnesota's second seven-games-in-10-nights run in March (Mar. 9-18, Mar. 21-30); they went 8-14 on the tail end of back-to-back sets this season, after going 5-15 in those situations a year ago… The Wolves finished 20-21 for their best home record since going 20-21 in 2006-07… Minnesota drew an SRO 20,340 vs. Houston on Dec. 26, the third-largest crowd in Target Center history…
