"When you’re having fun on an NBA floor there is nothing better in the
world," said Sebastian Telfair after he played all 48 minutes of the
second-highest scoring game in Timberwolves history. Amen to that,
Bassy, for you are the MVP of the best three quarters this squad has
played in over a year, perhaps two. And the shocking transformation
Telfair has made from handy punchline to hardy point guard is complete.
He’ll have bad games, maybe even a bunch of them, but now it should be
regarded as a slump rather than confirmation of his eventual ticket to

Benjamin Polk/City Pages on the win over Indiana:
Afterwards, Wolves coach Randy Wittman emerged from the locker room
sporting a warm, fatherly glow. “I couldn’t be more proud of these

Has a time been set for your next evaluation?
"Not really. It’s just depends on how I feel. I’ve been doing some
things and testing it out to see how my leg reacts, checking for

The Star Tribune names Al Jefferson its star of the weeek.
Gerald Green was considered, mostly because you finally got a chance to
see him play Wednesday. But Jefferson cannot be denied, not after he

Monday.
