The Wolves have an amazing 10 game losing streak against the Celtics that dates back to 2007. He is the starting lineup the last time a W happened:

Ricky Davis
Kevin Garnett
Mark Blount
Randy Foye
Trenton Hassell

also, someone names Justin Reed came off the bench for the Wolves. He played 81 games in 2 seasons for the locals and I have no recollection of him.

The Celtics get Rajon Rondo back from suspension. So thats pretty awesome.

Wolves @ LA Clippers 9:30pm

The Wolves look for its second win in two nights. The Wolves will not have Andre Kirilenko, he is out with bask spasms.
After a hot start to the season, the Wolves are now 12th in the Western Conference with a 6-7 record. The Clippers are in first place in the Pacific at 8-6. They get Chauncey Billiops back in the lineup

Even with the injuries to Rubio and Love, there is a lot of excitement for this team. The most excitement for this team since the days of KG, Cassell, and Ndudi Ebi. The most excitement in the Twins Cities since Target Field opened its doors.

Looks like Derek Williams will start for Kevin Love (at least tonight)

Sacramento is coming into the game 0-1
