OMAHA, Nebraska (Ticker) -- Glenn Robinson drained a 3-pointer at the buzzer to lift the unbeaten Milwaukee Bucks to a stunning 81-80 exhibition victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Minnesota appeared to pull ahead for good when Bobby Jackson hit a 14-footer with eight-tenths of a second remaining to make it 80-78. But Tim Thomas found Robinson just to the right of the arc on the ensuing inbounds pass and the 6-7 forward hit nothing but net to lift Milwaukee to its fifth straight preseason win.

Robinson was 9-of-16 from the field and grabbed seven rebounds for the Bucks, who shot 43 percent (36-of-82) and forced 19 turnovers.

Kevin Garnett had 16 points and grabbed 19 rebounds for Minnesota, which held a commanding 56-37 advantage on the boards.

Rookie Wally Szczerbiak continued to impress. The Timberwolves' top pick scored 15 points, grabbed six rebounds and played most of the night after receiving 14 stitches over his right eye following a first-half collison with Milwaukee forward Ervin Johnson.

Ray Allen and Sam Cassell collected 13 points apiece for Milwaukee.
