The focus, Timberwolves forward Kevin Garnett said, was to distribute. To get center Rasho Nesterovic some "feels." To get forward Joe Smith some "feels." And especially to get guard Wally Szczerbiak some "feels."
"I was really (upset) about the fact that I couldn't help one of my teammates get more productive shots," Garnett said Wednesday, referring to Szczerbiak's 1-for-6 performance 24 hours earlier. "It haunted me all of last night, and I couldn't really sleep."

That might partly explain the final minutes of Minnesota's 96-91 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday night at First Union Center.

After battling back from a 12-point third-quarter deficit and helping Szczerbiak score a team-high 31 points by the end of the game Garnett passed up two key shots in the final three minutes, something that eventually might haunt him more.
