Rashad McCants Looks Sharp in Timberwolves Loss

 
Despite 18 points off the bench from Timberwolves guard Rashad McCants, Minnesota was not able to pick up a home win against the Dallas Mavericks Saturday. Dirk Nowitzki was the game's high scorer with 21 points. Jason Terry added 19 points off the bench. Al Jefferson picked up his second double-double on the year with 14 points and 12 rebounds. Mike Miller also added 13 points. Dallas altogether outmatched the Wolves. Al Jefferson was off tonight as far as scoring goes, which is very rare for him. Corey Brewer once again provided little offense with only four points. On a good note, rookie Kevin Love scored nine points in 23 minutes off the bench. Minnesota still has room to improve, no doubt about it. The Wolves have shown maturity and the ability to look good against much better teams, such as the Mavericks. Minnesota goes to Oklahoma City on Sunday and should look good against the winless Thunder. Enjoy all of Sunday's games! (link)
