Boston Celtics @ Minnesota Timberwolves (Game 9 of 82)

Free agency pickup, Jamaal Crawford rattled in 20 points, but shot poorly overall, providing the only spark for the T-Wolves tonight in the Target Center, as the home team fell 105-76.

Kevin Garnett (18 points) breezily scored the most for Boston, but Channing Frye (16 points/12 rebounds) and Hedo Turkoglu (who had his best performance since becoming a Celtic) weren't far behind. Rajon Rondo gave a sensational effort as well, drawing the foul and scoring against contact in the paint.

Big man, Kevin Love, had a modest showing with 14 points and 12 rebounds, but Minnesota was simply outplayed tonight. Michael Beasley played with high energy, and veteran pickup, Rasheed Wallace, returned as a member of the Boston Celtics, giving the usual strong effort on the glass and knocking down a three pointer. Eddie House also splashed in his trademark long ball.
