Timberwolves beat Utah Jazz 138-113

The highlight of the evening for Utah Jazz supporters was a late sighting of Joe Ingles following the team's defensive collapse in the second half of their 138-113 defeat to Minnesota. On Thursday, January 30, the Jazz (10-36) will host the Timberwolves (27-21) at Delta Centre.

The Wolves are clinging to the seventh-seed and play-in game chance it offers, while Utah starts the evening last in the Western Conference. After defeating Phoenix in Arizona yesterday night, Minnesota is playing the second night of a back-to-back. After being promoted to a starting position three games ago, rookie point guard Isaiah Collier has been a shining example lately. Collier was once one of the nation's top college recruits, but after struggling with his shooting in his one season at USC, his draft ranking declined. Collier has improved steadily after being selected as the 29th choice in June.
