(SportsNetwork.com) - So much for that 3-0 start. The Miami Heat look to get back on track and stop a two-game slide when they host the Minnesota Timberwolves Saturday at AmericanAirlines Arena. Miami suffered its second loss in a row Wednesday in a 96-89 setback against the Charlotte Hornets. The Hornets ended a 16-game slide to the Heat, who were led by Dwyane Wades 25 points and seven assists. Chris Bosh continued his surge with 23 points and 13 rebounds. The Heat, who got no closer than 88-85, shot 39 percent and made only 4-of-22 3-pointers. The Heat had made at least nine 3-pointers in each of their first four games. It just seemed like we could never get over the hump, Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra said. We didnt play with great energy. Bosh has scored more than 20 points in every game this season and is currently sixth in the NBA with 24.2 ppg. He has three double-doubles in five games. In injury news for Miami, center Chris Andersen (ribs) and forwards Danny Granger (hamstring) and Udonis Haslem (quadriceps) are questionable versus the Timberwolves. The Timberwolves have alternated results in all five games this season and are coming off a costly 112-103 overtime loss in Orlando Friday night. Wolves guard Ricky Rubio suffered a left ankle injury in the second quarter and X- rays taken were negative. Rubio, who ended with four points and six assists, will be re-evaluated Saturday and was replaced by Mo Williams. He popped it pretty good, Minnesota coach Flip Saunders said. So well have to wait to see where its at tomorrow. Rubio signed a four-year contract extension with Minnesota last week and is currently third in the NBA with 10.0 assists per game. Kevin Martin had 21 points and both Nikola Pekovic and Corey Brewer scored 16 points for Minnesota, which made 43 percent from the field. Rookie Andrew Wiggins had just six points. Anthony Bennett is bothered by a knee issue and is questionable Saturday. The T-Wolves have a tough schedule ahead against Miami, Houston, New Orleans and Dallas on the slate. Minnesota and Miami split a pair of meetings last season with each team holding serve as the visitor. The Heat have won 11 of the last 15 games against the Timberwolves, who are 5-10 in the past 15 trips to Miami. Carlos Beltran Jersey . PETERSBURG, Fla. Yordano Ventura Jersey .

Its other five picks were all six foot or better, with three at 6-1 or above. Third-round pick Brett Lernout stands six foot four and weighs 206 pounds. "Hes a big strong strapping defenceman," Trevor Timmins, Montreals director of amateur scouting, said of Lernout. "Hes tough as nails and has a heavy shot." Timmins had talked prior to the draft about the Habs wanting to "get bigger, stronger, faster." "But at the same time if theres a player thats undersized there and hes a good hockey player, then hes hard to pass. Thats the situation here with Daniel -- similar to a Brendan Gallagher in his draft year. You simply cant go by a player with that much ability." Gallagher is five foot nine and 180 pounds but plays much larger. The 175-pound Audette had 21 goals and 55 assists in 68 games last season. Audette, the son of Habs amateur scout and former NHLer Donald Audette, went in the fifth round. Timmins said Audette Sr. had not been involved in any of the pre-draft discussion on his son. In fact, Donald was told to spend the afternoon in the stands with his wife and son until Daniel got drafted. Donald collected 260 goals and 249 assists 735 career NHL games with the Buffalo Sabres, Los Angeles Kings, Atlanta Thrashers, Dallas Stars, Montreal and Florida Panthers. The Canadiens traded up to get Lernout, a Swift Current defenceman. They gave up their third-round pick (87th overall) and fourth-round pick (117th overall) to get Arizonas third-rounder (73rd overall). "I looked at the team picking in front of us and I thought there was a good chance that he wouldnt be there (by Montreals pick) ... We wanted to add some ssize on defence and he was a good fit for us there," said Timmins.dddddddddddd Montreal took AJHL defenceman Nikolas Koberstein (125th overall) and Audette (147th overall) in the fifth round, USHL goalie Hayden Hawkey (177th overall) in the sixth round and Ontario Junior Hockey League forward Jake Evans (207th overall) in the seventh round. Montreal used its first-round pick Friday to take Russian forward Nikita Scherbak of the Saskatoon Blades 26th overall. Thanks to reaching the Eastern Conference final, the Canadiens draft position was well down this year. "If you take a look at our picks in every round, theyre pretty late. So the asset value of the picks we had wasnt near as high as last year or the year before," Timmins said. "Thats why we had to make that trade in the third (round) to move up. "We had to wait out turn pretty long in each round. Ill tell you (how we did) a few years down the road. But were happy with the guys we got. Theyre the guys we targeted and we still had guys left on the list that we wanted to draft." The Habs went "under the radar" on Koberstein, according to their scouting director. "I think this guy has good upside and long-range projection," he said. "Hes a great kid and has tons of character but hes a good hockey player too." Koberstein is committed to play at the University of Alaska-Fairbanks after one more year with the Olds Grizzlys of the Alberta Junior Hockey League. Timmins sees him as a five-year player, meaning he has one year at Junior A and four at college. Hawkey, USHL goalie of the year, is committed to play collegiate hockey at Providence. "Hes like money in the bank," said Timmins. Evans is headed to Notre Dame. "Hes a skilled centre with great playmaking ability," said Timmins. ' ' '
