For the final time this season (unless the teams would meet in the playoffs), Sam Cassell returns to the Twin Cities as a member of the LA Clippers. In the last meeting, Cassell was leading his team’s charge, scoring 28 points, loving the fact of taking it to his former team.
That was before Randy Foye led the Timberwolves back in the fourth quarter. This was a great win that gave the Wolves the knowledge of knowing that they are never truly out of a game as long as they continue to work, play by play, and buckle down on defense.
The Wolves are surging right now, coming off three straight overtime wins, and are looking to go 4-0 in their four game homestand.
There are many interesting matchups in this game with Kevin Garnett and Mark Blount battling down low with Elton Brand and Chris Kaman, as well as Randy Foye and Mike James matchup with the aforementioned Cassell.
Although the Clippers are disappointing this season with their rough start, a win for the Timberwolves should be another confidence boost for the Wolves.
