Notes

On any other day, the Wizards would be considered favorites. But this isn't just any other game. The Wolves acquired long-time star Kevin Garnett last week, and today is his first game back at the Target Center in their colors:

It will be an emotional game, because this is KG's debut in Minny since the 2006-2007 season, and this is going to be a major test of the Wizards' mettle to say the least. Here goes nothing.

Please, just win Wizards. Please?
