The numbers speak for themselves in this one, folks.

To review: 42 first-quarter points (one shy of a record), 72 first-half points (season high), 18 first quarter points for Randy Foye (six off a franchise record), four wins in a row (first time in more than two years).

Yes, your Wolves are rolling.

Someone asked Foye tonight if the hoop looks huge to him. I’d say at the moment, it’s like a hula hoop. Did you see some of those threes he was hitting? Not even a speck of rim. Heck, the net barely moved on some of them.

In blowouts like this - either way - there’s not a whole lot else to be said. Even coach Kevin McHale was not very talkative about the game itself tonight - and as someone pointed out recently, McHale usually talks in paragraphs :)

It’s not that he’s being a grump. Think about it. Really, what more do you offer other than to say everything was clicking? I know, I know. Writers are paid to come up with stuff (not make it up, mind you). And, for the most part, we do. Ha.

Great fan reaction when Mark Madsen checked into the game and played the final 7 minutes. Man, what a cult following he has. This guy could knit a doily and someone around here would cheer it on. Oh to be that loved.

Rumor has it there is no practice tomorrow. But we’ll know for sure probably later tonight from the PR staff. If that’s the case, we’ll be dark here til a report from Friday’s warm-up for the game Saturday against the Bucks.

We’re about set for the tap here at Target Center. The Wolves are back home as one of the hottest teams in the league. Yup, at a whole three wins straight they get this moniker. Crazy.

Same lineup as last night.

Sorry this is so short, but it’s been a crazed day and I am just getting to this now.

Enjoy the game!
