What a hoop by Baron to seal the win-- he strolled to the hoop like he had been doin it all night! And it was fantastic to see Al Thornton do this thing...31 and 10 is no joke. Its good to have you back Al :D 2 in a row!

I hope this is the start of many wins in the coming early season. We are starting to play all quarters competitively. Unlike earlier...

Just got home from class. I'm quite impressed we held the lead. Al is looking great the past couple games. Terrific game by him. Let's hope he can keep this up. :) I'm glad Collins got some minutes again. Seems like he played better than Baron tonight. :X

The difficulty of the next few games have rose up a notch. Not too bad, but Indiana and Detroit aren't strong teams so far this year.

Ugly but I'll take it. Take out the 0-4 start, we're actually not too bad at 6-5. We should have won vs. the Suns and Raptors too.

Butler struggled tonight. Maybe he's better off coming off the bench. EG will be back next game and AL is playing really well.

Get Blake back and get the team rolling! Just need Baron to play better. 10 shots is not bad except he was chucking up bad shots. I don't mind if he shoots 10 open shots and misses them all, just don't throw up contested 25 footers.

I'm finally at a computer after the game. I was hoping that we would have played better overall. It seemed like the Twolves were hitting shots early on and getting to the basket when they wanted.

How many times did Al Jefferson travel, seriously the dude needs to work on his foot work. I'm glad that we took the lead in the fourth because I was getting nervous. Al was the man tonight and Telfair played fairly well. I'm glad I was able to witness a victory and I may go to the early game on Sunday.

I wish Mardy would have made those two easy layups and we didn't have those 3 second calls. We did win and hopefully we'll win our next game.

I forgot to mention that last play by Baron, if your not gonna score all game at least wait for it to be the last basket of the game. What a play, Kaman was basically holding off Pecherov so Baron could get right to the hoop. It was awesome

Why the hell would you play Baron tight with the game on the line? Davis couldnt hit the side of a barn from 10 feet and yet here are the wolves all in his face. Crazy sh*t. I just cant believe they gave him the drive.

I was at the game last night. I was literally getting ready to run down to the locker room exit to attack Dunleavy if we had lost the game. Baron saved his coach by making that layup. And probably saved me too, from ending up in jail.

Dunleavy was his usual self but I give him credit for taking baron out early in the 3rd quarter. Or did he ask to be taken out???

In any case, Telfair saved the day.

Good to have a win now and again.
And great to see Thornton look alive again. Long may it last. He had a sensational game.

Ugly game to watch. Baron was absolutely terrible. On the positive side, Telfair played well, Camby was very active on the glass and Thornton had another fantastic game.

LOL at Ralph Lawler's comment when Russian dude Oleksiy Pecherov got on the court last night "I'm not even going to ask you where he's from
