MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Rick Adelman trudged off the basketball court for maybe the final time in his professional life and he couldn't hide the disappointment.
He was sure his Minnesota Timberwolves were going to respond in the season finale, finishing a year of unmet expectations on a high note against the lowly Utah Jazz. Instead, one of the most respected coaches of his generation watched his team deliver a lackluster performance that in no way resembled the precise, sophisticated game Adelman has been known for over the last quarter century.
Trey Burke scored a career-high 32 points to go with nine assists and seven rebounds and the Jazz avoided the worst record since moving to Utah 35 years ago with a 136-130 double overtime victory over the Timberwolves on Wednesday night.
