Wolves' Bench Dominates Clippers



Derrick Williams and Michael Beasley went off last night against the LA Clippers. Each of them put up 27 points and shot out of their minds. Both of them coming off the bench, helped the Wolves in getting the win. The bench put up a total of 72 points last night, which is the most of any bench in the NBA this season. Even Darko Milicic had a great game last night coming off the bench. He came in at the beginning of the fourth quarter to take on Blake Griffin who had 29 points on the night. Blake ended up scoring a total of 30 points all game as Darko shut him down.
This is just another reason that you gotta love the Wolves. Love wasn't having his best game and even got hurt, but there are so many guys on this team that work hard and get the job done. After this game I hope the Wolves realize that we need to hold on to these two young guys to help us work toward a championship in the future. At such a young age, they are only gonna get better. The Wolves are now 18-17 and fighting toward a playoff spot. We seem to be shooting better and finishing games very well lately, so I'm thinking we have a really good shot at getting a seven or eight seed in the playoffs. We just gotta keep up the good work now!
Look for the Wolves tonight who are playing in Los Angeles again, this time against the Lakers. Another late game, starting at 9:30 tonight, but I'm definitely staying up for it. I really hope the T-Pups come through and get a victory here, especially with the absence of Kobe Bryant. This is a game we need to capitalize on and win big to keep the momentum going.
