Kevin McHale earned his first win in his second tenure as the coach of the Timberwolves on Friday night when the team defeated the Knicks in New York.

The Timberwolves snapped a 13-game losing streak, getting a season-best 23 points from Rashad McCants.

"The guys have been playing hard, and we really needed this one," McHale said. "At the end of the game I said, 'Thank God,' and I meant it."
