On Thursday night the Wolves showed their true colors in their 94-88 victory over LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. Once again, Wally Szczerbiak came off the bench and dominated with 26 points. This along with Garnett's 20 points and 18 boards was enough to get Minnesota their second win in a row. Just what they needed befrore going into the All-Star break.

While their on court chemistry was off and on during the night, Wolves fans saw that glimmer of greatness the team had last season, and could should regain after the coming break. In a post-game interview, coach Kevin McHale said, ``We can go through some dry spells on offense when you're kicking rear ends on defense. That's the way you have to play.'' Kicking rear ends is an understatment. The Wolves had a season high 14 blocked shots, and out-rebounded the Cavs by 10 boards.

The energy and intensity was a presence throughout the entire game, and Wolves fans are confident that that their team will continue to play well after the break. With Cassell likely to return shortly after All-Star weekend, the balance of playing time between him and Troy Hudson at point guard will greatly improve the T-Wolves' offensive threat. It's hard to imagine this deep, high-powered team not making the playoffs.

After the game, there was a plug for an interview between Georgetown Hoyas head coach John Thompson, and Kevin Garnett to be aired sometime during this All-star weekend. For those of you who witnessed this brief clip, clearly it is a must-see. For those of you who missed it, Thompson asks Garnett no BS questions, and gets him to speak from the heart. No media fluff, just real talk.

The Big Ticket outwardly showed his emotion when asked by Thompson "What is it that Drives you?" Garnett's powerful response, "I keep losing. I keep losing."
