Minnesota responded with jumpers by Garnett and Foye, and a free throw by Davis putting the Timberwolves back on top by eight with 2:47 left to play.

"We stayed close," said Wizards forward Jarvis Hayes. "It was right there for us to take, but we couldn't get the rebound off the (missed) free throw."

Stevenson registered 21 points for the Wizards, who have lost two straight games. Arenas donated 20 points for Washington, which shot just 7-of-29 from three point range.

Washington was without second-leading scorer and rebounder Caron Butler who missed the game due to back spasms. Hayes, who shot just 1-of-10 from the field, started in his place.
