The surprising Minnesota Timberwolves have All-Star forward Kevin Love back in the pink of health and as a result are playing good basketball, winning their first two games including an upset of the Oklahoma City Thunder. On Sunday night, the Wolves attempt to make it three games in a row as they visit Carmelo Anthony and the New York Knicks. Live stream the game here. Wolves fans can listen on WCCO-AM while Knicks fans can do the same on ESPN NY 98.7
The Wolves are coming off an impressive 100-81 win over the Thunder when they shut down the three-time scoring champion Kevin Durant to an unimaginable 13 points on four of 11 shooting and 1 of five from three point line. The Wolves held the Thunder to 34.9 percent shooting while forcing them to 21 turnovers. Two days earlier, the Wolves survived a gritty Orlando Magic to win 120-115.
Leading the way for the Wolves is rebounding demon Love, and he is backed by guard Ricky Rubio. The team will be without center Ronnie Turiaf.
The Knicks are fresh from a heartbreaking 81-80 loss to the Chicago Bulls who were led by former league MVP Derrick Rose's floater with five seconds left in the game. Anthony, last season's scoring champion, will have to work double time in offense as the Knicks will be missing the services of Amar'e Stoudemire who is recovering from a minor knee injury. Stoudemire played limited minutes in the game against Chicago and will have to sit out this game as a precautionary measure.
