The Timberwolves would close the gap in the fourth quarter and came within four with only 2:47 left to play. Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade sealed the game for their squad, scoring all but four of the Heat?s 22 points in the fourth quarter After losing the last two games leaving their head coach feeling as though they had lost focus on moving the ball and creating for one another, the Heat bounced back with 18 assists in the first half alone. They were led by Wade (25 points, 8 assists) and Bosh (24 points, 7 rebounds). Udonis Haslem made his first appearance of the season, contributing 8 points off the bench. Timberwolves point guard Ricky Rubio did not play and is out for an indefinite period of time after suffering a severe ankle sprain in the second quarter of their game against the Orlando Magic.
