It opens a back-to-back set for the Jazz, who visit Houston on Wednesday, and closes one for Minnesota, which on Monday visited the Los Angeles Clippers. ... Injured Timberwolves: Corey Brewer (torn ACL), Kevin Ollie (dislocated elbow). ... With Jerry Sloan celebrating his 20th anniversary as Jazz coach and Kevin McHale working the first game in his second stint as Timberwolves coach, Mehmet Okur's runner with 1.7 seconds left lifted Utah on Dec. 9 in Minnesota.
