Minnesota rallied in the fourth and pulled within eight following a 10-2 run. J.J. Barea and Michael Beasley hit consecutive treys and Derrick Williams made a pair of foul shots to cap the spurt as the Wolves found themselves down 90-82 with 5:47 to play.

But back-to-back three-pointers by Redick and Nelson upped the margin back to double digits, and Orlando cruised the rest of the way.
