Minnesota Timberwolves fall to the Boston Celtics

The Minnesota Timberwolves didn’t find any luck and fell to the Boston Celtics on Monday night.

In what might have beenKevin Garnett’s final game in Boston, he did not play because he’s old and needs to rest even in front of crowds that are cheering his name and want to see him, apparently. Granted, Garnett wouldn’t have made a difference because the Wolves as a whole look tired on Monday.

As soon as the Wolves would cut into a Boston lead, the Celtics would start stepping away again. A real one step forward and two steps back kind of situation went down in Bean Town as the C’swon 113-99.

The young stud two-step combined for more than half of the Timberwolves points.Andrew Wigginsled the Wolves with 26 points andKarl-Anthony Townswas right behind with 25 points and he also grabbed a real nice 16 rebounds.
