MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 26 (AP) -- With the game on the line, the Minnesota Timberwolves turned to a rookie.

Randy Foye delivered.

The seventh pick in the draft made a runner with 1.8 seconds left, and the Timberwolves escaped with a 100-98 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday night after blowing a 25-point lead.

Foye, who finished with a career-high 25 points, took the ball from Kevin Garnett and drove to the right side before putting a shot over Kirk Hinrich.

"That's what I do best, make plays for myself and make plays for other people," Foye said. "You would see the last seven minutes of every game in college (at Villanova) I had the ball and I wasn't scoring all the time. I was making plays for other people, but if they took that away from me I scored."

Foye seems to have a presence about him that you don't often see in a rookie, at least if this game is any indication. So how good is this kid? Anyone here think maybe he could be Rookie of the Year material?

Going into the season my brothers who follow college basketball real close said it was going to be between him and Roy in Portland.
