Kent Youngblood/Star Tribune on Randy Foye:
Foye got his offense going by playing defense. He had three steals —
all in the first half — and he was off on an aggressive outing on both
ends of the court.
After Tuesday’s game Foye said it was the strongest he’d felt, physically, since he’s returned.

on Kirk Snyder’s debut as a Timberwolves player:
His defense was strong. But he also contributed on offense as well. In
nearly six fouth-quarter minutes he scored once on the fast break and
had a key assist.
After the game was over he was very, very tired.
