    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Sam Cassell's fourth-quarter heroics were more than enough to help the Minnesota Timberwolves extend their home winning streak to nine games.

    Cassell scored nine of his 22 points in the final period to lift the Timberwolves to a 97-90 triumph over the shorthanded New Orleans Hornets. </div>

    The Hornets continue to have problems with teams from the west, which isn't a good sign for next year.

    The problem is that Baron Davis is too 3 happy. Today he shot 1-7 from the arc. That won't get it done. He needs to pass the ball more. He shot more threes than Magloire took shots. When your center only has 6 points in a game, it will make it even harder to beat a western conference team.

    I agree with that. The biggest problem was that Garnett created matchups problems on the inside with his combination of size and quickness, which probably upset Baron's passing rythm. But Magloire will be the key to a lot of games, and they can't afford to let him sit quietly by.

    That game was booty. KG travelled his ass off in the final half minute and it didn't get called. They could have won this game.

    Baron's injury in the 4th didn't help anything, either.
