Stats usually do not do a game like this justice. This was one of the most exciting games of the season for the Timberwolves by far and they may just have found a few things to take with them into their matchup with the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday…and throughout the remainder of the season.
Yes, this game was against the Bobcats, but Minnesota showed heart and desire in the second half that has only been seen in spurts this far into the season. Coach Casey continued his growth as a coach by benching Mike James for Randy Foye in the crucial moments, Ricky Davis played a great all-around game, Mark Blount showed up in the second half, Mike James was supportive of Foye while he was relegated to warming the bench and Kevin Garnett showed the emotion needed to lead this team.
How great was it to see Garnett’s fight in the second half? How great was it to see the smile on his face after the game, high-fiving all of his teammates?
Obviously, the key thing here is that the Wolves need to find a way to bring this same effort they showed in the second half for an entire game. Now, with a chance to reach the 0.500 mark against the Spurs on Wednesday, they better hope they can do so soon.
