The Timberwolves outran the Nets last night in New Jersey. Backup center Nikola Pekovic led the way last night as he had his best game of his young NBA career. Pekovic finished up with 27 points, 11 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal in 34 minutes on the floor. Kevin Love also had a very solid game with 20 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 blocked shot last night. Wesley Johnson (10 points, 8 rebounds and 1 blocked shot), Ricky Rubio (10 points, 2 rebounds, 10 assists, 6 steals and 1 blocked shot) and Michael Beasley (10 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists in 16 minutes) also pitched in for the Timberwolves in this game. The Timberwolves are now 11-12 on the year.

The T-Wolves only shot 37.4% from the floor last night and it did them in. Kevin Love led the way for the T-Wolves last night with 21 points, 17 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 blocked shot. Luke Ridnour (16 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists) and Nikola Pekovic (13 points and 12 rebounds in 30 minutes on the floor) also had rock solid games for the Timberwolves last night. Michael Beasley (11 points, 1 rebound and 1 steal) and Ricky Rubio (10 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists) also pitched in last night. The Timberwolves are now 10-12 on the year.

23-year old small forward Michael Beasley missed some time due to injury recently, but he’s back with the vengeance right now. In his last two games, Beasley is averaging 26.0 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.5 steals per game. Beasley has now played in 10 games (7 starts) so far this year and he is averaging 30.6 minutes, 14.9 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game. I think Beasley will get his starting job back in no time if he keeps playing like he is right now.

The Timberwolves shot 58.1% from the floor and they outrebounded the Rockets 40-34 last night which were huge reasons for the nice road win. Michael Beasley (34 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal) and Kevin Love (29 points, 7 rebounds and 2 steals) led the way for the T-Wolves in this game. Ricky Rubio was outstanding running the offense as he finished up with 18 points, 8 rebounds, 11 assists and 1 steal. Luke Ridnour pitched in with 11 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists in this game. The Timberwolves are now 10-11 on the season.

The Timberwolves didn’t play well enough offensively or defensively to beat the Lakers last night despite outrebounding them 52-41. Kevin Love led the way for the T-Wolves with 33 points, 13 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal in this game. Michael Beasley returned to action last night after missing some time due to injury and he was outstanding. Beasley finished up with 18 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 1 blocked shot in 30 minutes off the bench. Nikola Pekovic got another start at center and he played well, finishing up with 13 points, 9 rebounds and 1 blocked shot. Martell Webster pitched in with 10 points, 5 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 blocked shot in 23 minutes on the floor. The Timberwolves are now 9-11 on the year.
