Loading... Game 3. Wolves @ NY Knicks 6:30pm
After a beat-em-down game against Oklahoma City, the Wolves hit the road for the first time and play the Knicks at the newly renovated Madison Square Garden. Corey Brewer pestered Kevin Durant all night Friday and now his assignment is to pester Carmelo Anthony. Should be fun!

Lester Oliveros did as much as he could. A good game for Edgar Ibarra. The rest of the winter league reports will come either late this afternoon or tomorrow.

Tee Set – Ma Belle Amie
As a kid, I thought this song was about NBA All Star Walt Bellamy. I was pretty disappointed to find out it wasn't.
