Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Chicago Bulls: 1/10/12

1st Quarter: My apologies for missing yesterday's game as I had previous engagements. But I'll be back to cover the Wolves hopefully not get absolutely destroyed by the Chicago Bulls. The Wolves look very sloppy to start out the game and Bulls are taking full advantage of it. The TWolves are extremely sloppy on defense and are not paying attention to their assignments. Barea and Rubio are single-handedly keeping the Wolves in the game right now, but it won't matter because the Bulls are just getting easy, uncontensted shots. The Wolves are quickly down by 16 while the Bulls are shooting 74%.

2nd Quarter: The Wolves have to dig themselves out of a huge hole and it doesn't look to be an easy task as Omer Asik is getting some baskets to go in. Even veterans like JJ Barea are playing poorly on this night. The Wolves are just getting absolutely hammered 48-24. No one seems like they just want to take over and try to pull the Wolves together. Love seems to have found his touch and his legs as he quickly drains some points. The Wolves have come roaring back and quickly cut the lead down to 10. Now they are down 8 with under a minute left. Under the guide of superstar point guard Ricky Rubio, the Timberwolves have accomplished a miracle. They went on a 20-2 run against one of the best teams in the NBA.

3rd Quarter: You can expect the Bulls to come out firing in the 3rd quarter, hopefully the Wolves have enough to continue their monster run. Rubio is starting in the 3rd quarter as is Anthony Tolliver and Anthony Randolph. The Wolves are shooting horribly again, but their defense is very solid this game. Luke Ridnour scored a couple baskets and has the Timberwolves within 3. Loul Deng is single-handedly holding the Wolves back from breaking out while Anthony Randolph is having a great game. Ridnour drills another shot to tie the game at 70-70. Rubio has 11 assists. The Wolves are hanging in down 79-74.

4th Quarter: The Wolves are coming out cold while the lead is stretched into double digits. Derrick Rose is an absolute rocket when he gets going. The Wolves are now down by double digits, but are slowly coming back. Derrick Williams hit a 3 pointer and got fouled to get the Wolves really close again. However, the Bulls keep scoring when they need to and are just trying to hold on their lead. They Wolves have to get some lucky bounces if they want to win. Luke Ridnour is having himself one hell of a game. Derrick Rose and Luol Deng are absolutely cold-blooded. They single-handedly kept the Bulls ahead of the game.
