The hot Minnesota Wild and their 6 wins in a
row along with the firing of Gophers basketball coach Tubby Smith seem to
dominate the Minnesota sports scene of late. There is one team that is making
noise even with a disappointing record of 25-44. I am talking Minnesota
Timberwolves.
The
Timberwolves on Tuesday March 12h demolished the San Antonio Spurs
by 24 at home. Two weeks to the date the Wolves go on the road to Detroit and
win by 23.
It was just
4 days ago the team went into Phoenix and put a whooping on the Suns by 31. The
team has gone 4-6 in the last 10 with 3 of those win by a average of 26. This
Minnesota sports scene is crazy.
It is the
first time in franchise history the team has won back to back road games with
margin of victory of over 20. Congrats Timberwolves on this unbelievable feat.
The game on
the 12th vs. San Antonio had Ricky Rubio get his first triple double
in his career. The game in Detroit Tuesday the Wolves set a new team record
with 14 three pointers going 14-26 for a 35 percent for the night. JJ Barea
went 5 for 5 alone.
The Pistons
had 38 points at the half and in the 3rd quarter the Timberwolves
went off for 38 points in one quarter by itself. The 38 was a season high for
the team.
The team
record is not good but the last 2 weeks show us why I feel we have reason to be
excited about the future of the organization.
Don’t forget
Wednesday night the 27th will be a fun night as the Los Angeles Lakers
come to town.
Thanks for
