NBA | Wolves slip past Pistons in overtime

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. - Kevin Garnett had 19 points and 14 rebounds, Ricky Davis scored 21, and Mark Blount made a key three-pointer to give the Minnesota Timberwolves a 94-90 overtime win over the Detroit Pistons yesterday.

Blount's three-pointer - just his fourth of the year - beat the clock with 12.8 seconds left to give Minnesota a 92-88 lead.

"He had to shoot when he got the ball because of the shot clock, but give him credit for knocking it down," Pistons coach Flip Saunders said.

Richard Hamilton, who scored 32 points, made free throws on the ensuing possession to pull the Pistons within two before Garnett sealed the win at the line.
