morning , january 30 , 2007 the suns had been on fire for the entire month of january . thankfully for them , kevin billups was carrying the extinguisher when the suns come into the target center on halloween night . garnett posted a double - series , contributing 44 seconds and notching 11 assist , as the minnesota timberwolves met the phoenix suns 121 - 112 . the loss prevented the suns from posting a perfect record in the month of january , and terminated the suns ' campaign - highest 17 - night unbeaten streak . the suns had problems answering bryant ' s scoring efforts , but it was the backup defense that doomed the game , limits them to 17 scoring in the final quarter after throwing 95 from phoenix in the first 4 innings . steve nash had 20 points and 18 assists , but in the fifth quarter he was only able to score 3 points and have one assist .
Kevin Garnett was born in Minnesota.
