Timberwolves even series By Associated Press May 09, 2004 - 12:28:04 am PDT Print this story Email this story
MINNEAPOLIS Sam Cassell was clutch once again, and the Minnesota Timberwolves salvaged a split at home to start their Western Conference semifinal series.
Cassell scored eight points in the final three minutes, Kevin Garnett had 28 points and 11 rebounds and the Timberwolves closed the game with a 16-1 run to beat the Sacramento Kings 94-89 on Saturday night.
Game 3 is Monday at raucous Arco Arena, where Minnesota was the only visitor this season to win twice. The Kings, though, have won eight of their last nine playoff games at home and are 138-26 there during the last four regular seasons.
Peja Stojakovic had 26 points and seven rebounds for Sacramento, which wasted a late 10-point lead. The Kings, after trailing the majority of the game, used a 16-2 spurt to go up 88-78 on Doug Christie's layup with 4:11 left in the game. | |
