GAME RECAP

MVP

Kevin Martin, Wolves

Maybe the first real look at the "other" Kevin, who struggled with his shot in the first two games but went 9-for-12 Sunday, including 5-for-5 on threes, and the clutch three that pushed the Knicks away for good.

Numbers

2 Times Wolves have started 3-0 in their 25-year history. Only other time was 2001-02, when they started 6-0.

12 Martin's shot attempts, fewest ever for a Wolves player who scored 30 or more points.

40:48 Center Nikola Pekovic's playing time without injured backup Ronny Turiaf.

2-for-10 Carmelo Anthony's shooting when Corey Brewer defended him. He was 6-for-11 the rest of the night.
