So close so often in their first five games, the Wolves finally found
the right stuff down the stretch, riding McCants’ scoring, starting
point guard Marko Jaric’s defense and rebounding and veteran forward
Antoine Walker’s breakout game as a Timberwolf.
His career-high 33 points included 14 in the fourth quarter and an
important three-pointer that immediately answered a Sacramento
three-pointer and put the Wolves back ahead with 6:42 remaining.
Wednesday’s attendance of 11,656 marked the smallest
