04.11.12 THE GAME PLAN
THE BUZZ The 0-for-April battle resumes. The Twins (0-4, vs. Angels, 7:10 p.m.) and the Wolves (0-5, at Denver, 8 p.m.) could finish at roughly the same time tonight.
REMOTE PATROL Given the Ozzie Guillen controversy, this Marlins-Phillies game (6 p.m., ESPN2) just got even more interesting. Surely Phillies fans will be kind.
Click pick Tweet from ex-Ellsworth prep star Cody Schilling: "Can't wait for a healthy Rubio next season. We're a solid 2 guard away from being a playoff team."
STAR GAZING Mavericks owner Mark Cuban had a heated locker room exchange with Lamar Odom at halftime of the player's final game, according to reports.
FAST FACT The Timberwolves didn't allow 112 points or more in any game Ricky Rubio played this year. They've allowed that many seven times since his injury.
