Joe Crawford, Ed F Rush, Luis Grillo. This time, the Minnesota Timberwolves were the home team. After losing a pair of tough games in Portland, Minnesota came home to a raucous crowd at the Target Center which reversed the comfort levels of both teams.
Today means a lot for our confidence.
When you work hard and don't accomplish what you're supposed to do, it takes some of the air out of you. In Games One and Two, the Trail Blazers appeared to benefit from being at home, making most of the clutch plays and getting a favorable whistle down the stretch. Today, the Timberwolves made the plays and got the calls. I thought our crowd was outstanding. It was one of the best local crowds we have had in a long time.
