Sprewell Gets his vengence for getting traded away!
This is the game in which the Wolves play the Hornets. Sprewell was traded to New Orleans, adn was not very content with the Wolves. Angered by this trade, he has been plotting his revenge. And with the trade still fresh in his mind, he will be going all out on Minnesota.
The first quarter, Sprewell got his return to Minnesota. He dropped 12 in this quarter, leading the game off with the first 4. KG also went off with 16 in the 1st.
The second quarter, JR Smith took advantage of the many mismatches such as the Kandi man, and Mad Dog. He compiled 13 for the quarter. The Wolves side was pretty even, but Rashard McCants thtrew down a one handed dunk on PJ Brown, stole the ball and skeeted in Brown's face with a beautiful jumper!
At halftime, Minnesota is up 9, with the score at 61-52. Chris Paul and Latrell Sprewell are the players of the half, who were the stars of the big Hornets-Wolves trade. Paul had 14 points, 8 asses, and 4 steals. Spre had 19 points, 4 boards and 4 steals.
The third quarter was full of excitement. KG dunked on PJ Brown. He is getting messed up by every one! Chris Paul hit 2 threes, they were back to back. Sprewell and JR combined for 22 points. JR was guarded by Josh Smith most of the quarter, but still got 12 points.
92-91 Hornets lead.
THe fourth was where the players bust out thier mojo. Spre and JR tore the shit up in the 4th. JR had 10 and Spre only had 8, but they took the clutch shots, and made them! With 1:32 left the score 118-118, Sprewell hit a specatular 3 all over Josh Smith! Two posetions later, 118-121 now, and JR takes a 3 with full coverage on him, drains it and the Wolves had to call a timeout. Only 34.3 second remain, KG posts up the exhausted Sprewell, and throws it down! With 24.2 left, the Wolves let KG post up again, this time he puts on his signature fake right and fade away on the block. with 4.2 remaining, the Wolves foul PJ Brown and he misses both. The final timeout is used, and the Wolves decide to go to the hot man KG. The ball is inbounded, and KG is doubled imediately, and is forced to kick the ball out to and open Chris Paul. He pulled up for a deep two (his foot on the 3-point line), and misses as the buzzer sounds. A tough loss for the Wolves and are now 2-1.
