Kevin Love led six players in double figures with 20 points and 16 rebounds as the visiting Minnesota Timberwolves made sure the host Washington Wizards stayed winless with a 93-72 victory on Sunday afternoon.

Ricky Rubio collected 13 points, a career-high 14 assists and six rebounds and fellow rookie Derrick Williams added 14 points and seven boards for the Timberwolves, who won their first road game since a 116-105 triumph at Detroit on March 2.

Nick Young and Trevor Booker scored 14 points apiece to lead Washington (0-8), which is the lone winless team in the NBA.

Wizards point guard John Wall went 3-for-10 from the floor and committed four turnovers. The second-year star has at least four turnovers in six of eight games.
