Timberwolves score a bumpy blowout (http://www.startribune.com/stories/511/5303636.html)
March 21
Minneapolis Star Tribune (registration required): "The Wolves, of course, have earned every drop of skepticism, pessimism and doubt this season. And frankly, their nationally cablecast 94-86 victory didn't seem secure until the final minute."

March 21
St. Paul Pioneer Press (registration required): "Somewhere amid the fouls, pushes, shoves and indifference from both teams and the Target Center crowd, the Timberwolves may have rescued their season from drowning Sunday. At least the pulse still registered after a 94-86 victory over the Houston Rockets, and at this point that's a relief any night."

March 21
Houston Chronicle: "The Rockets floated both theories, having provided ample evidence to support both. But after going down meekly to the Timberwolves 94-86 on Sunday in a well-matched bookend for their loss to the Celtics on Friday, the Rockets had little doubt what happened to their road-trip strut."

March 21
St. Paul Pioneer Press (registration required): "The momentum from his fluently executed, Spanish-only pregame interview with a Houston radio station spilled over, because Mark Madsen offered this one-word assessment of his right wrist before the Timberwolves played Sunday: 'Mal,' Madsen said, laughing."
'Who's he?' Tom Thibodeau (http://www.startribune.com/stories/511/5303662.html)
March 21
Minneapolis Star Tribune (registration required): "But 14 years later, having paid his dues and worked for some of the top coaches in the business, no NBA general manager -- including Wolves vice president Kevin McHale -- should overlook Thibodeau this summer when filling one of the many head coaching vacancies. That's the opinion held by Rockets coach Jeff Van Gundy, Thibodeau's boss for seven seasons in New York and Houston and, from the sound of it, his aspiring agent, too."
Cassell made the difference (http://www.startribune.com/stories/511/5303744.html)
March 21
Minneapolis Star Tribune (registration required): "The difference-maker was Sam Cassell, who had 18 points off the bench on 7-for-9 shooting."
