I went to the Wolves game today, and so will bring you a firsthand report of the goings on there. Sam Cassell scored 36, KG grabbed 22 rebounds, and Memphis stank at the freethrow line as the Wolves won 90-82. Here's the blow-by-blow. Memphis got off to an early 7-0 and 11-2 lead, but the Wolves pulled to within 6 at the end of the first quarter. Memphis missed a ton of free throw oppurtunitys. The Wolves took the lead in the second, lost it, and then got to within one as the quarter ended when Sammy hit a three as the buzzer sounded. The Wolves took the lead for good in the third, and though there were a couple more ties basically iced the game. KG shot just 5 of 20, but he had 5 assists and 4 blocks, plus 7 offensive rebounds. It was amazing, both teams had several three touch possessions. Anyway, we won, and that is all that counts. The game was officially sold out, but there were probably 800 or so empty seats. Meanwhile in St. Paul, the Wild went over .500 for the first time this season in their final game, beating St. Louis 3-0. obviously this season was not what everyone expected, but at least we now have something to build on. The Gophers women lost, but Janel did set the rebounding record despite getting only 7 of them. Too bad. Anyway, we had a great run. Well then, not too much else, bye
