Love's 40 spark victory — and MVP talk

Via AP on Fox  |  March 28, 2012
Kevin Love is playing so well this month he's beginning to garner MVP consideration. And rightfully so. Sure, the Minnesota Timberwolves might be on the outside looking in when it comes to the playoff picture, but Love's numbers are getting harder and harder to ignore. Love had 40 points and 19 rebounds Wednesday night to lift the Timberwolves to an 88-83 victory over...

Wolves lack teamwork, use Love as crutch

Via Fox Sports North  |  March 27, 2012
That looked familiar: another loss in Memphis, another low-scoring night, another 48 minutes lacking in energy spark. The Timberwolves' 93-86 loss to the Grizzlies on Tuesday was eerily reminiscent of the last time they played in Memphis, but in the month and a half since, the teams' paths have quietly diverged. On Feb. 8, both were 13-13, and it was too early to say which...

Kevin Love reaches a new level

The Agony and the Ecstasy of the 2012 Minnesota Timberwolves Season

Via Midwest Bias  |  March 27, 2012
I don’t know what to make of this Timberwolves season. Prior to tonight’s game,  Minnesota is three games out of the playoffs and owns the tiebreaker with the current eighth seed, Houston. I will be overjoyed if this team is playing in June, but I won’t be upset if they are not. Our draft pick belongs to New Orleans. The good news is that it will probably not end up being...

Lee gets healthy at the ideal time for Wolves

Via Fox Sports North  |  March 28, 2012
He's the rookie no one expected to matter, and it's easy to overlook him with better-known first-year players like Kemba Walker and Derrick Williams and a force like Kevin Love on the court. Malcolm Lee may have just six career points after seeing 43 minutes in six games, but in the Timberwolves' past three contests, he's been a necessary component. Just a glance...
