MINNEAPOLIS - Andrew Wiggins and the Minnesota Timberwolves were 10 minutes away from snapping a torturous losing streak that has already turned this season into a lost cause.Then an old, familiar face stepped in for the Phoenix Suns to remind the Wolves of their failures of the past and help prolong the misery of the present.Gerald Green scored 15 of his 21 points in the fourth quarter to scorch his former team and the Suns handed the Timberwolves their 13th straight loss, 113-111 on Wednesday night.Green came to Minnesota from Boston in the Kevin Garnett trade in 2007, but the Wolves — and the Celtics, Nets, Pacers and Mavericks — never were able to coax the kind of instant offence out of him that the Suns have nurtured the last two seasons.Green hit three 3-pointers in the fourth quarter, helping the Suns wipe away a seven-point deficit to start the period in the blink of an eye. Goran Dragic added 25 points and the Suns (22-16) survived a scare from the undermanned Timberwolves to win for the 10th time in 12 games.He got to the Gerald we all know and love, coach Jeff Hornacek said. Coming down, pulling up for 3s, and just letting them go sometimes and that was huge getting us back in the game.Andrew Wiggins scored 25 points, but missed a 3-pointer at the buzzer that would have won the game for the Timberwolves, who havent won since Dec. 10. Mo Williams added 23 points and 11 assists and the Wolves led by as many as 13 points. But they turned the ball over 22 times to fall to 5-29 on the season.I see growth in each one of our young guys game, Williams said. But I think the main goal now is to win a basketball game. Growth is good. Great for you guys to write about. Good story. But we dont like losing.Its already been a long, cold winter for the Wolves, who have played most of the season without Ricky Rubio, Kevin Martin and Nikola Pekovic because of injuries and are headed toward their 11th straight appearance in the lottery. On a night when the temperatures dipped to 9-below zero — prompting the Wolves to take $9 off every available ticket in an effort to get fans to support a struggling team — they led 102-101 with under two minutes to play.But Isaiah Thomas scored on a drive to start a 6-0 burst capped by a steal and dunk by Eric Bledsoe off a poor inbound pass from Chase Budinger that gave Phoenix the lead for good with 55 seconds to play.Wiggins had a great look to win it after Thomas missed a free throw, but the ball clanked off the rim to allow the Suns to escape.I thought it was going in, Wiggins said. Thought it was right on target. Just came off a little short.The Suns shot just 36 per cent and turned the ball over nine times in the first half, allowing the Timberwolves to hang around thanks to 50 per cent shooting.The Suns were 2 for 20 from 3-point range through three quarters before Green got going. He hit three shots from deep in the first three minutes of the fourth, then hit two free throws for an 86-82 lead with 8:22 to play.TIP-INSSuns: Markieff Morris technical foul in the third quarter was his eighth of the season, the second-most by an NBA player this season. ...

Hayden on season-ending injured reserve Wednesday after he underwent sports hernia surgery on his injured groin. The Raiders also added linebacker Miles Burris to the active roster and re-signed defensive lineman Brian Sanford. Hayden played in eight games this season before injuring his groin in practice earlier this month. He struggled in his final game, allowing two touchdown passes in a loss to Philadelphia. It was a rough debut season for Hayden, who was picked 12th overall out of Houston despite suffering a near-fatal practice injury that cut his final season in college short. "He had his ups and downs," coach Dennis Allen said. "He had some times where I thought he played really well, and some times where he looked like a rookie out there. But I think for where hes at, for the things that hes had to go through, I was pleased with his progress and now hes got to go through another rehab process and begin to start getting ready for next year. It will be a great thing for him to have a full off-season where he can work out, get himself in shape, get bigger, get stronger and get ready for next year." Hayden missed out on that chance last off-season after he collided with a teammate in practice at Houston one year ago, tearing a blood vessel off the back of his heart. He was rushed into surgery for a tear of the inferior vena cava, the large vein that carries blood from the lower half of the body to the heart. TThe injury is 95 per cent fatal in the field, according to doctors, and is most commonly associated with high-speed motor vehicle accidents.dddddddddddd Hayden didnt know if hed ever be able to walk again, much less play football. But he eventually recovered and worked his way back to get drafted by the Raiders. After a setback in May when he had to undergo surgery to repair an abdominal scar, Hayden was finally cleared for contact midway through training camp and played eight games before the groin injury. Burris spent the first 11 weeks on the physically unable to perform list after off-season knee surgery after starting 15 games as a rookie last year. Kevin Burnett and rookie Sio Moore have stepped in and played well at outside linebacker, leaving Burris to a backup and special teams role for now. "Hes a guy we have to work in," Allen said. "We wont just throw him out there on Sunday and expected to take 60 snaps. Hes a guy who we felt like was healthy enough that he could help us. I want to try and get an opportunity to get him in the game. Well see how he does." NOTES: RB Darren McFadden (hamstring), WR Denarius Moore (shoulder) and DE Jason Hunter did not practice. ... LT Jared Veldheer is on target to return from a torn triceps injury sustained in training camp on Thanksgiving Day in Dallas. ... The Raiders released linebacker Martez Wilson on Tuesday to create the spot for Burris. ... Oakland also signed defensive tackle Ricky Lumpkin to the practice squad.
