The Minnesota Timberwolves wanted to see where they stood among the Western Conference Elite and go toe to toe with the home team the Golden State Warriors and trade Blow after Blow in the 4th and final frame. the outcome was decided by a "J" by 2013 FA Pick Up Kevin Martin aka "K-Mart of Target" as the Warriors were not going to get beat by West All-Star Starter Kevin Love as he gets the assist.

The 'Wolves win 121-120 and they get a total team as Love, Nikola Pekovic, and K-Mart all go twenty points plus. The "Lake Oswego Monster" goes 26 points, fourteen rebounds, and eight helpers as Pekovic nearly matched Love with 22 points while grabbing fourteen Oranges. K-Mart added 26 on a slick 10 of 17 including 3 of 3 from the Arc. A players that felt he didn't get enough shots in OKC last season has definitely found a home in the twin Cities. The key for the 'Wolves was matching the Warriors at the Arc and staying aggressive and getting to the line more.

The Warriors were led by West All-Star Starter Steph Curry aka the "Human Torch", who got a raucous Standing O when his name was called in the Intros, with 33 points and dishing out fifteen assists. D-Lee added 23 points and grabbed seven Oranges while Curry's Ace Klay Thompson chipped in with 18. it was "Iggy of Planet Oracle" (16 pts 5 rebs) Andre Iguodala's play in the 4th that kept the Warriors in it as he and Curry traded with Love and K-Mart. It wasn't that the Warriors didn't make enough plays to win they just needed another possession or two.    

The 'Wolves finally move to that .500 mark at 21-21. The Warriors fall to 26-18 as they have fell behind the Clips by 3.5 games as we go to press in the Pacific Division.

Both Curry and Love deserve to be All-Star Starters as NBA Heads love both.....
