The Wolves debuted a new starting five for the game against the Warriors, following the injury to Deandre Jordan in the previous game against the Chicago Bulls. Jonny Flynn, Isaiah Rider, Wesley Johnson, Michael Beasley and Anthony Randolph ran out against the Warriors.

The Warriors broke out of the gates early, looking to start stronger than they did in the two teams previous meeting. Monta Ellis (28 points) and David Lee (18 points, 9 rebounds) were the go to guys early in the game as the Warriors pushed themselves out to a 5 point lead at the first break.

The Wolves fought back to tie it up at the half on the back of a solid team performance, with several players looking to do their bit. The Warriors were not to be deterred though as when the third period closed they were back in front by three. It set the scene for a classic struggle in the fourth quarter, with rookie point guard Eric Bledsoe forced to spend some time playing the two spot he relished the opportunity and continued his recent run of good form, scoring 8 of his 22 points in the fourth as the Wolves pressed their advantage.

When the Wolves finally hit the front, try as they may the Warriors just could not bridge the gap as the Wolves held on for a three point victory. Isaiah Rider also scored 22 for the Wolves, Beasley 20 and Wesley Johnson 18. Depth player Rashad McCants took advantage of his opportunity to get some decent minutes by nailing two trey's in the game on his way to 8 points on 3/3 shooting.

Wes Johnson had 18 points against the Warriors

The Wolves hit Phoenix after defeating Golden State and systematically pulled them apart. It was a case of a three headed beast for the Wolves in this game with Rider scoring 35 while Beasley and Bledsoe each added 27. Flynn had 14 assists and Telfair 11 on the back of some serious shooting performed by Bledsoe as he developed his role as the backbone of the second unit.

For Phoenix Carter scored 20 points and Channing Frye recorded a double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds. Pietrus scored 18 off the bench.

Beasley scored 27 in the big win against the Suns

The Portland game was simmed because I had played halfway through the third quarter when my xbox froze, I was trailing by four at the time and quite enjoying the challenge, however when I tried to replay I found myself bored and thus I simmed it and the Wolves were simmed the victory. Roy scored 33 for the Blazers and Rider 20 for the Wolves.

One more Game to come in Week 7, the Wolves at the Nuggets... that will be written up in the next entry.
