Oleksiy Pecherov's big night for Timberwolves can't put a dent ...

Kevin Garnett has been gone from the Timberwolves for nearly three years, but it seems he still gets hometown treatment in Target Center.

Coming of age game for Oleksiy Pecherov!

Those 24 points just guaranteed him a potential contract extension.

Kevin Love had better be careful of him.

Were the boos directed at Garnett or that the refs didn't call a foul on him? C'mon, we're not Cheeseheads!

[The Hard Truth]

The jump ball was a bad call. But the bigger question is why Brewer, the most out-of-control player on the court and, suddenly, one of the most selfish, suddenly felt compelled to bring his goofball game to the fore with the game on the line.

We was robbed!

Garnett is a punk.

referees should be executed and replaced by robots.

Hi, my name is corey brewer, I suck! I am the star of the timberwolves! J/K I am stupid too, because I am taking more shots than anyone else on the team! I will be great someday, not!

[Oh Danny Boy]

yawn...........

[KOD33]

Wah wah wah, KG and the Celtics get all the calls - that should have been a foul. Stop your whining. Great teams make the plays down the stretch that win close games. KG got all ball on that play with Brewer, and crying about it only makes you sound like a sore loser. Your young team played hard last night and should be proud of the effort, but the better team prevailed in the end.

KG was the only reason i watched Timber wolves basketball anyway, good to see him get the win.

Typical NBA (nothing but assinine)... this is NOT basketball! I've written to the comish David Stern about what a farce this league is and especially the incompetence (or skilled deception) of the officiating. This league is nothing but a skit to entertain the idiots that pay the beaucoup bucks that fill the corrupt owners and NBA offices. Shame!! But entertainment is to be taken lightly, it fills our need tp escape the corporate (or work for others and make them rich) MO of this country.

[KG Fan]

Long after KG retires, AJ will be winning games - hopefully for Wolves. The trade was good for both clubs. Celtics got a few years to win it all, but Wolves got a future superstar. If KG never traded, the future here would be very bleak. AJ continues to get better.(and did you notice who stifled Pierce last night?)

I bet that sounded really good in your head, especially the nothing but assinine[sic] part (LOL SO CLEVER!!!). Unfortunately, it was nothing more than incoherent prattling about nothing in particular. On a side note, the T-wolves need to get jefferson the ball alot more.
