KG's Rookie Year
November 30, 1995
A bench manned by four rookies and two veterans contributed a season-high 49 points in the Timberwolves' 121-98 victory over Vancouver on Tuesday. Guard Micheal Williams led the subs with 18 points, and the reserves, as a group, sparked a dominant final quarter in which the Wolves outscored the Grizzlies 38-18. After losing nine of their first 10 games, the Timberwolves finally have their first winning streak.
Minnesota shot 60 percent Sunday, and the past two games are the only times the Wolves have made at least as many shots as they missed. The 121 points are a season-high, surpassing Sunday's 105 total. The Timberwolves started clicking in the second quarter when Laettner scored six points and rookie Kevin Garnett came off the bench for five points, plus a couple of rebounds, two steals, a block and one assist during his short first-half stint. Minnesota headed to the locker room with a 59-52 lead. Garnett finished the game with nine points and seven rebounds.
