The Minnesota Timberwolves took it to the New York Knicks Wednesday at the Target Center, winning 115 - 99. Kevin Martin led the way for Minnesota with a prolific shooting performance, scoring 37 points (14 - 20 FG, 7 - 11 3Pt, 2 - 6 FT), a season - high. The only blemish on his night was at the free throw line, where he shot 33 percent. Normally, Martin is one of the more efficient free throw shooters in the league. The New York Knicks struggled defending the three - point line once again on Wednesday, allowing the Timberwolves to shoot 50 percent from three - point land (11 - 22 3Pt), a trend they would like to put an end to as the season progresses. Carmelo Anthony posted a nice line of 20 points (7 - 10 FG, 4 - 5 3Pt, 2 - 2 FT), four rebounds, one assist, and one steal, while turning the ball over only once. The superstar played only 27 minutes and watched the game from the bench in the fourth quarter. Minnesota will look to build off this win as they take on the defending champion San Antonio Spurs on Friday. The Knicks match up against the lowly Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday, with hopes of turning their disappointing season around.
