Kevin Garnett rescued his team from playoff disaster.

Despite blowing a 14-point lead in regulation, the Timberwolves came back to beat the Kings 114-113 in overtime and take a 2-1 series lead.

Garnett had 7 points in the extra session to propel the Wolves past the Kings for a crucial road victory.    

The "Little Three" -- Fred Hoiberg, Ervin Johnson, and Trenton Hassell -- helped the Wolves get out to the early lead and quiet the raucous Arco Arena crowd.

The victory gave the Wolves back the home-court advantage.  Game 4 is Friday night in Sacramento.
