Wolves record: 11-38<\/div>\n

In the first meeting, the Knicks raced out to a 15-0 lead and 40-point first quarter for a dominating victory in New York. On Sunday night, the Wolves held the offensive-minded Knicks to just 44 in the first half. Controlling the tempo and a career-high 25 points from Kevin Love also helped Minnesota exact revenge in a 112-91 victory at the Target Center.<\/em><\/p>\n

“Overall our guys did a really good job, they kept playing hard, the Knicks made some runs and they just kept playing hard,” head coach Kurt Rambis said.<\/em><\/p>\n

The hometown fans started to grimace when New York put together a 16-6 run to start the first period. After the Wolves fell behind by 15 points, Rambis called a timeout and the team responded, scoring 16 of the next 20 points of the quarter. <\/em><\/div>\n

Jefferson scored 16 of his 22 points in the second half and Love led Minnesota’s bench with a season-high 25 points on 9-for-18 shooting. While Love has started most of the games for which he has been healthy this year, the recent play of Ryan Hollins has made Love the go-to man off the bench.<\/p>\n

“They have some strong guys inside,” David Lee said. “Al Jefferson, of course, is a beast down there. And Hollins has had a good couple last games. His length gave us some trouble. Then they come off the bench with Kevin Love, who would be a starter on two-thirds of the teams in this league.”<\/p>\n

On Friday night against the Clippers, Hollins match his career high with 20 points. Sunday, he gave Minnesota three blocks and 16 points on 6-for-8 shooting.

From Phil Miller\/Star Tribune: <\/a><\/div>\n
Hollins made six of eight shots inside against the Knicks, giving the Wolves a three-man scoring unit in the paint that overwhelmed a Knicks team that plays 6-9 David Lee at center. Hollins’ emergence, along with Love’s strength off the bench, means that a typical gameplan against the Wolves — double-team Jefferson and force his teammates to make shots — suddenly isn’t a lock.<\/em><\/p>\n

“They take the pressure off me. I can do other things — rebound, get some assists,” Jefferson said. “In the first half, teams are double-teaming me, and they give [Love and Hollins] opportunities to score. So teams move off me, and that frees me up.”
