The Wolves play the Celtics on Saturday, so in honor of the most important day of the week let’s take a look at an iconic Timberwolves player doing an incredible thing against that same team…
That’s right, it’s Throwback Thursday!
On March 22, 2000, Kevin Garnett was getting ready to play the Celtics. He’d had a phenomenal first couple years but there was something missing—he’d never scored more than 40 points in a game. He’d come close, he’d broken the 30-point mark many times, but that big 4-0 remained elusive. Not for long.
Garnett went out on that Wednesday night in Boston and balled out, finally reaching the 40-point mark on 16-for-23 shooting and adding eight rebounds.
