Last night I attended the Timberwolves vs. the Brooklyn Nets game. I arrived at about 6:45 and the eager fans were excited get out of the cold and into the Target Center. Not only were they eager but they were optimistic and almost hopeful that the Timberwolves could pull off a win.

Once I got settled into my assigned seat adjacent to the Timberwolves bench, I recognized some familiar faces. The lovely Jenny from Fox Sports North was to my left and Marney Gellner was to my right. Jenny and I introduced ourselves to each other and the game began shortly after.

After several tries at the unsuccessful baskets, Ricky Rubio put the first points on the board for the T-Wolves. Despite his injury Ricky Rubio reached his "maximum minutes" of playing time in the end of the game. It appeared that Rubio was disappointed that he couldn't be out there with his teammates.

Unfortunately, the Timberwolves weren't successful and lost the game. The Nets walked away with a 91-83 win over the Wolves.
