Taking In My 1st TWolves Game This Year

What a game to pick for my 1st game of the year, the TWolves vs Kevin and the Celtics. The lights dim and whose face appears with and in the Twolves introductions on the JUMBO TRON, Champlin Parks own "Jasper Duberry". Fun stuff!

On to the game ... the TWolves lead the entire 1st half and go into the locker room at the half up 10 while Garnett is having a quiet game. Oleksiy Pecherov puts the Wolves on his back and carries them thru the 3rd period scoring inside and out, what a shooting touch he has.

The Celtics move Garnett over to guard Pecherov for the 4th quarter and I think this changes the game. It takes a way the Wolves hot scorer and makes him work on defense guarding Garnett even though Garnett is not scoring.

Long story short ... the game comes down to the last 10 seconds with the Wolves down 2 points with the ball. Brewer attacks the basket and is tied up by Garnett. This should have CLEARLY been called a foul but wasn't, the ref calls jump ball and the Wolves are left with a heave at the basket and lose by two ... 92-90.

BUT WHAT A GAME!

LOUD Shout out to Jeff Munneke and staff!
Good to see and FEEL the ENTIRE lower level packed and standing at the end. A lot of great entertainment during half time and timeouts, keep up the great work. I LOVED the scenario when Crunch took an obnoxious fans hat and attached balloons to it so it would fly a way after this fan spoiled a timeout entertainment piece. You can't make this stuff up!


Seems like EVERYONE was at the game tonight. I saw a number of high school players and bumped into columnist Steven Froemming who accepted my invitation to come over to Champlin Park next week to cover a Rebel open gym and interview a couple of players ... THANKS Steven and I'll see you next week.

Overall ... A great night at the Target Center!
