Timberwolves forward Kevin Garnett is going to the NBA All-Star Game.
Wolves coach Flip Saunders probably is not.

Although Garnett on Saturday officially was selected to the Feb. 10 game in Philadelphia for the fifth consecutive season, Saunders needed his team to beat the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday night, plus have Dallas lose to the Los Angeles Clippers late Saturday and the Los Angeles Lakers lose at Philadelphia today, for Saunders to earn his first all-star berth.
