SALT LAKE CITY - He passes, shoots, steals, blocks, rebounds and hustles all over the court. It's a bird ... its a plane ... it's Andrei Kirilenko.

AK had an impressive stat line in Utah's 108-100 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves Friday night, shooting 10-13 from the field (77%), grabbing six rebounds, picking the defense apart for seven assists and coming up with five steals and a block on the defensive end.

"Andrei had a great game," Jazz head coach Jerry Sloan said.

Paul Millsap scored 30 points, Earl Watson had a season-high 13 assists in place of injured Deron Williams, and the Utah Jazz beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 108-100 on Friday night to halt a six-game losing streak.

"He had a terrific game defensively, getting over screens and having to guard some bigger guys, then moving over to small players. I thought he did a nice job."

He was perfect from three point range and was 6-6 from the free throw line until late in the game when he missed two consecutive attempts. But to make up for it, he got his own rebound and later connected on a layup after a nice pass from teammate Paul Millsap.

Kirilenko was a defensive force late in the game, coming up with a block and a steal in the final 2:13.

"I liked the style of the game when we are being aggressive and getting a lot of deflections," Andrei told the media after the game.

"Everybody was concentrating to get the position right and help their teammates. I think we did a pretty good job at concentrating on those things, which helped us win the game."

The win over the Timberwolves marked the end of a six game losing streak, one that the players would like to move on and forget about.

"It is a relief. It's big time to finally leave it behind and start over," Kirilenko said.
