Recap: Boston 95, Wolves 78

Last update: November 22, 2008 - 12:13 AM

MVP: Kevin Garnett, Boston

OK, so Paul Pierce (12 points, 11 rebounds) or Rajon Rondo (13 points, seven assists) are worthy, but let's go sentimental with Garnett's 17-point performance that included eight in a game-determining third quarter.

NUMBERS

2 Wolves field goals made in the third quarter, which tied a franchise low for a quarter.

19,107 Attendance, about 200 people shy of an official sellout.

2 OK, so we used this already, but ... number of Wolves' victories (2-9) and Celtics' defeats (12-2).
