Wolves Defeat The Depleted Pacers

The Wolves beat the Pacers at the Target Center last night 90-85. The Pacers, playing without Jermaine O'Neal (sprained ankle) and Ron Artest (awaiting a trade), trailed by 16 points in the third quarter but whittled down the Wolves lead to only 3 points with 12 seconds to play. All Twolves starters- Garnett, Szczerbiak, Hassell, Jaric, and Griffin- scored in double figures for the first time this season. T-Hud was out with the flu.

At 19-18 the Wolves are in second place in the Northwest division behind Denver.
