When you get 2 of the last place teams in the NBA playing each other, it becomes quite boring quickly. Lackluster defense, turnovers galore and poor shooting is what happened between the Minnesota Timberwolves and the home team Los Angeles Clippers. It has been such a disappointing year for the Clippers with all the key injuries they suffered from their stars. Chalk it up in the books as they lose another one with the score ending at 94-86.
The T-Wolves top scorers were Al Jefferson and Craig Smith both with 20 points. Right behind them was Randy Foye with 17 points and Ryan Gomes with 14 points. Minnesota was never behind in the game although it was a very close match throughout the day. The Timberwolves record now moves to 13 wins and 26 losses.

On Saturday night the Minnesota Timberwolves faced off against the home town Chicago Bulls and came away with a victory with a score ending at 102-92. The Bulls now drop to a record of 14 wins and 20 losses. If the Playoffs started today the Chicago team wouldn’t even make the cut. It has been a disappointing year so far for the Bulls franchise. The one bright spot of this game was Tyrus Thomas who mustered up 8 blocks and kept them in the game, but to no avail.
The T-Wolves are one of the worst teams in the Western Conference with a record now of 8 wins and 25 losses. This was a good win for this young team though, with Randy Foye leading the way with 21 points. Ryan Gomes contributed 19 points and Al Jefferson had 18 points. Off the bench Kevin Love had 18 points and Sebastian Telfair had 15 points.

On Tuesday, Sebastian Telfair of the Minnesota Timberwolves was suspended for 3 games after pleading guilty to criminal possession of a weapon, where he was sentenced to 3 years of probation last month. Sebastian was originally arrested in April of 2007 when police found him carrying a loaded gun that was in his car.
Telfair had an incident free season with the Timberwolves last year and has career averages of 39% field goal shooting, 30% three point shooting, 77% free throw shooting, 7.8 points per game, 3.8 assists per game and 1.7 rebounds per game.
The 6 foot guard really didn’t penalized that much by the league, basically a slap on the wrist. Telfair needs to stay out of trouble while on probation or he could face stiffer penalties.
