The Wild are following suit with the way of Minnesota sports teams and are slipping into mediocrity… Mikku Koivu continues to prove my belief that he is better than Gaborik, and scored two goals tonight to keep his stellar season going. Gaborik on the other hand continues his tradition of only playing about 1/2 of the season. With the loss the wild dip into second place behind the Canucks, yet are only a point behind. On the bright side we’ll get some pretty easy games coming up here, and the chance to beat the piss out off the Stars on the 26th.

The Timberwolves finally got back into the wind column today after an 8 game skid. Thanks to another big effort from Al Jefferson who put up 25 points with 8 reebs. The main difference being, this time someone should up down the stretch. And that someone again was Big Al. He had 6 points, and an assist to Mike Miller (who was also clutch) in the closing minutes to secure the 2nd win of the season for the T’wolves. Mike Miller had 10 points 10 Reebs, and 6 dimes playing a really solid game. He is however, still one of the most hideous creatures in the NBA. The surprise of the night was Craig Smith who really played well in the third helping the Twolves keep a sizeable lead into the fourth… the game did get tight in the closing seconds again as the Twolves manage to throw away the lead… but tonight they finally stayed on top.
