PREVIOUSLY...the Minnesota Timberwolves witnessed Kevin Love go for 31 and 31 on some Moses Malone business on Friday night as they beat the Knicks 112-103. Michael Beasley used 29 shots to score the quietest 35 points in recent memory in that game.

Nine days ago, the Hawks beat the Timberwolves 113-103. Minnesota are 1-5 on the road this season.

Consider this an open thread for all pre-game, in-game, and post-game (but pre-recap) thoughts.
