Charlotte (3-7) at Minnesota (4-4), 8:00 pm EST

MINNEAPOLIS (Ticker) -- Kevin Garnett has finally voiced his unhappiness with Minnesota Timberwolves management, particularly team vice president Kevin McHale. However, first-year coach Dwane Casey hopes his superstar can channel that frustration into wins for the Timberwolves.

On Thursday, Garnett publicly criticized McHale's leadership in an interview with TNT following Minnesota's 109-98 triumph over the Washington Wizards.

On Saturday, Garnett takes the floor for the first time since those comments when the Timberwolves host the Charlotte Bobcats.

An eight-time All-Star, Garnett has been his usual dominant self this season. The 2004 Most Valuable Player collected 25 points, 13 rebounds and nine assists on Thursday as Minnesota held on in the fourth quarter to win for the first time in over a week.

Since opening the season with two wins in their first three games, the Bobcats have dropped six of their last seven.

Charlotte delivered a hard-fought effort on Friday before ultimately coming up short in a 93-85 loss to the Indiana Pacers.

Kareem Rush scored 20 points and Emeka Okafor added 14 and 10 rebounds for the Bobcats, who had embarrassed the Pacers with a 122-90 blowout victory on Wednesday.

Rush has been red-hot as of late, averaging 18 points over his last five games including a 35-point performance on Wednesday.
