His pounding of the ball on the perimeter gets old. His constant plea for calls from referees gets annoying. Point guard Sam Cassell's habits were expected to cause friction in a Timberwolves locker room that has stuck with team-oriented basketball in years past. Instead, Cassell is showing he's worthy of making his first all-star team in his 11th season. Cassell proved his point against the San Antonio Spurs at the SBC Center on Wednesday night. When Kevin Garnett was saddled with foul trouble in the second half, Cassell hit off-balance jumpers. He drove through the lane for layups. He knocked down three-pointers with a hand in his face. Cassell scored 23 of his team-high 33 points in the second half to help the Wolves beat the Spurs 100-93 and move into sole possession of first place of the Midwest Division for the first time this season. "Sam was on fire, it was like he was playing Xbox for a while," Wolves coach Flip Saunders said. "He was knocking down every shot, and you can see he felt it." A day earlier Saunders said he planned to send out letters to coaches around the league explaining why he thought Cassell should be an all-star. Cassell was not among the top 10 Western Conference guards in the most recent fan all-star voting. Any doubts of leaving Cassell off the roster for next month's game should be gone after the way he beat Spurs guards Tony Parker, Charlie Ward, and even Bruce Bowen, one of the league's best perimeter defenders, in the second half. Cassell went through a stretch in the third quarter where he scored 11 of the Wolves' 13 points, with nine of the points coming on midrange jumpers. "Sam carried us," Garnett said. "He had a few surges by himself that really gave us the momentum back. In the huddle he was stressing be aggressive, stay aggressive, and he did. He took some big shots." The Wolves let their emotions get the best of them early having to go against a Spurs team that has the stingiest defense in the league. The Spurs, who entered the contest giving up just 82.6 points a game, held the Wolves to 38 percent shooting in the first half. But behind Cassell's 8-for-12 shooting performance, the Wolves, who have won four consecutive games, shot a blistering 65.7 percent in the second half. Cassell made up for the Wolves having no answers for Spurs forward Tim Duncan, the reigning league most valuable player, who finished with 36 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists. "We hustled and did a good job on the boards," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. "But when you have the combination of not stopping Sam and (missed) free throws, that put an end to us." "It definitely felt like a playoff game out there," said Garnett, who had 22 points and 10 rebounds. "I think that's why we had a horrible start because we were so jacked up. We kept saying in every huddle to relax and calm down. But when you have five jacked up people talking, it's not really sinking in." Cassell not only hit the shots when called upon, but he also did strategizing momentarily. Cassell went over to Saunders seconds after Garnett picked up his fifth foul and suggested to his coach that he take the Big Ticket out for a couple minutes to calm him down. "He said just give him two minutes. We were thinking about it," Saunders said. "At that point, the way Sam was, you could see he was going to try to take it over." Cassell scored on three of the Wolves next five possessions, including hitting two big three pointers to counter Parker's two three-pointers and help the Wolves stay close until Garnett returned with 4:24 left. "One of us has to step up," Cassell said. "It's either going to be me or Spree when K.G. is on the bench. One of us has to step up and tonight it was me. We don't trip on who it's going to be. Our job is to get the momentum and make our role players better." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- 悟空我真的不行阿,我跟你说 三藏.... 悟空你妈个头阿,你有完没完 我已经说了不行了 你还要喔~喔 喔~喔 完全不理人家受的了 受不了 阿你 你再 我一~~~刀捅死你喔! --
