The Timberwolves were great, horrible and in between at various points in Friday’s game in Miami.

But the contest ended in the same way the previous had, with a Minnesota victory.

The Wolves found more buckets than a Miami team that went ice cold down the stretch en route to a 106-104 win.

“Yeah, it was an ugly win,” Timberwolves coach Chris Finch told reporters. “They do a great job of kind of mixing it up, junking it up, giving themselves a chance to win. We had multiple times to put distance in that game, and we were unable to do so.”

Still, the Wolves pulled it out in the end. But the win certainly didn’t come without plenty of drama.

Minnesota seemed to have the game sealed at various points in the final minute, but was careless with the ball and missed four of its final six free-throw attempts to keep the door cracked open. Duncan Robinson buried a 3-pointer with three seconds left to bring the Heat back within two points.

Anthony Edwards couldn’t corral Mike Conley’s ensuing inbounds pass, which was knocked out of bounds and ruled to be off Edwards.

That gave Miami one last opportunity. Bam Adebayo’s potential game winner hit off the corner of the backboard with Julius Randle providing a stiff contest, and Minnesota escaped with the win.

In his on-court, postgame interview, Randle said he was trust trying to force Adebayo into a “tough shot.”

“We know he likes to pump fake, so stay down on pump fakes,” Randle said. “Two seconds left, I know he didn’t have much time to get a shot off, so I just tried to crowd him a little bit and make it tough on him.”

The Timberwolves have now won four straight games and are again knotted with Golden State for the No. 6 seed in the Western Conference.

The most amazing part of Minnesota’s win? No one on the team scored more than 15 points.

Naz Reid, Donte DiVincenzo and Conley all hit that mark. Julius Randle, Jaden McDaniels and Edwards all scored 13, while Nickeil Alexander-Walker scored 12.

The low individual scoring outputs, ironically, came on a night where the Wolves (36-29) tied a franchise record with five players making three-plus 3-pointers.

“Everyone stepped up in key moments and had their moments. It was a collective effort to get the win,” said Randle, who also had 10 rebounds and nine assists. “It’s amazing that we can win in many different ways. We can put up 140 points, we can hold a team to 104. Ant can score 40, Jaden can get 30 and everybody can get 15 or 10, so that just shows that we trust each other as a team and everybody is willing to do what it takes to win.”

Edwards, who led the team with 13 rebounds, was in the locker room to open the second half before returning to the bench. Finch said the guard wasn’t feeling well.

Edwards was reinserted into the contest midway through the third. In the time he was out, Minnesota claimed control. The Wolves opened the second half of a 21-10 run to stake themselves an 11-point advantage.

But Miami (29-33) immediately responded to tie the game at 80-80 at the end of the third, and led 85-80 early in the fourth.

The Heat employed their patented zone defense, which gave Minnesota some offensive issues.

“At times we found good looks, and at times we really fought it,” Finch said. “I just thought whenever we’d get the ball down to the corners, we had good stuff, but we just didn’t find it enough. But we made enough plays.”

The Wolves defense clamped down enough when needed, Edwards hit a couple key triples and Minnesota found the small cushion it needed in the closing seconds.

The Wolves return home Sunday to host San Antonio.

“It’s time (to push),” Randle said. “Every game is important for us. Not just to win, but to build that confidence and momentum as a team heading toward the end of the season, so it’s time.”
