http://tinyurl.com/3yuzojg Boston should be wary of looking past the Timberwolves (9-25), who are playing their best ball of the season right now. Minnesota has won three of four after Saturday's 103-88 home victory over New Jersey. Defense could be the key for the Wolves, who are allowing a league-high 108.9 points per game but improved to 7-1 when giving up fewer than 100. They broke open a close game by outscoring the Nets 23-9 in the third quarter, then limited New Jersey to 24 points over the final 12 minutes. "That's how we've got to play," said Darko Milicic, who had 16 points on 8-of-9 shooting. "The first half we didn't show up. Thirty-three points for two quarters, that's great defense." The top offensive force was Kevin Love, who had 23 points and 10 rebounds for his 20th consecutive double-double. Love had 15 points and 11 boards in Minnesota's last trip to Boston. Wolves point guard Jonny Flynn missed Friday night's victory due to a sprained right ankle. He returned to practice and made the trip to Boston, but remains listed as day to day. The Celtics are 5-3 when playing the second game of a back-to-back, and 20-4 in all other contests. 塞爾提克隊必須要小心謹慎面對灰狼隊，他們要馬上打出這球季最好狀態， 因為灰狼隊已經在擊敗籃網隊後贏得4次接近勝利的3場。 灰狼隊的關鍵是防守，灰狼隊平均失分108.9分，不過失分少於100分時 灰狼隊獲得7勝1敗。 灰狼隊與籃網隊打破分數接近比賽是在第三節，灰狼隊得到23分，籃網隊得到9分 ，然後限制籃網隊第四節得24分。 9投8中地米粒表示：「我們知道如何應對比賽，雖然前半我們沒表現好，但 最後兩節只讓籃網隊得到33分，真是超棒的防守。」 Love有優質進攻能力，已經達成連續20場double-double，最後一次到波士頓， Love有15分11籃板。 Flynn因為腳踝傷勢而錯過比賽，他回來練習而跟著球隊一起到波士頓，但仍保留在 Day-to-Day名單。 塞爾提克隊在連續比賽的第二場比賽，是5勝3敗戰績，在其他比賽是20勝4敗。 Wolves: * Jonny Flynn (ankle) - DAY-TO-DAY * Anthony Tolliver (knee) - OUT Celtics: * Kevin Garnett (strained calf) - OUT * Delonte West (broken wrist) - OUT * Kendrick Perkins (knee) - OUT --
