Timberwolves 87, Grizzlies 107

The Minnesota Timberwolves played with a lack of emotion for the second straight night. The Timberwolves were blown out 107-87 by the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday night, a day after losing by 24 to Detroit. The loss was the fourth in the last five games for Minnesota.


Kevin Garnett after Wednesday's loss to the Grizzlies:
"It was one of those night's where it was just contagious," Garnett said of Minnesota's slow start. "(Memphis) didn't miss a shot. That sort of deflated us a little bit, and we were playing catch up."

Kevin Garnett after Tuesday's loss to the Pistons:
"If we have any guts, any pride about us, we'll come out with a better effort," said Garnett, who had 21 points and 10 rebounds but wisely was pulled with nine meaningless minutes to go. "We really have no choice, after a performance like this. For a while, I thought we were playing in Detroit, the way the fans were booing. I thought I was on the road for a second."
