Williams starts, finishes strong as Wolves go over .500

"The Timberwolves survived without suspended star Kevin Love on Tuesday night, beating Sacramento 86-84 at Target Center in a game that was notable for just who tweeted and who didn't all evening.

While Love sat home providing commentary in 140-character dispatches from his Minneapolis riverside condo, his replacement, rookie forward Derrick Williams, this time spoke for himself only with his play.

While teammate Nikola Pekovic carried the Wolves to a threshold of victory with a dominating performance over Kings center DeMarcus Cousins, Williams took his team the rest of the way by providing the crucial, go-ahead three-pointer from the right corner that busted open a tied game with 57 seconds remaining.

Williams' shot provided the lead, and then his team held on tight until Sacramento forward Donte Greene's potential winning three-pointer rattled off the rim and bounced away at the buzzer."
