Reeling Timberwolves host Grizzlies
Memphis (30-25) at Minnesota (23-31) 3:30 pm EST
MINNEAPOLIS (Ticker) -- Superstar forward Kevin Garnett and the
Minnesota Timberwolves look to get back on track as they host
the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday.
Garnett had 23 points, 15 rebounds and three blocks in Friday's
heartbreaking 102-101 overtime defeat against Denver here. With
the loss, Minnesota slipped to 1-6 in its last seven games.
Timberwolves general manager Kevin McHale might be assessing his
seven-player trade that sent Wally Szczerbiak, Michael
Olowokandi and Dwayne Jones to Boston for Ricky Davis, Mark
Blount, Justin Reed and Marcus Banks. Since the trade,
Minnesota is just 4-10.
Forward-center Pau Gasol collected 21 points and 12 rebounds and
Mike Miller scored 14 off the bench on Friday but Memphis
couldn't overcome 22 turnovers in an 83-80 loss to San Antonio
at home.
Memphis' Eddie Jones has struggled in his last three contests
after the All-Star break, averaging only 7.6 points and
connecting on just 3-of-10 shots from 3-point range.
The Grizzlies breezed to a 107-87 triumph over Minnesota on
January 25 as they drained 12 3-pointers and received 30 points
from Gasol. Garnett had 29 points, nine rebounds and three
steals.
