Well, then. Up thirteen points in the first quarter, down thirteen points in the third quarter. Up nine with under two minutes to play. Overtime? And, what's more--a loss in overtime? Huh. Well, at least Golden State was playing with a healthy line-up. Oh? No Corey Maggette? No Al Harrington? Baron Davis left for the Clippers? Hmm....

Here's the best part: I'm not even upset about the loss, inexplicable as it was. I liked the way that Al, Foye, and Gomes played (for the most part). What I'm concerned about is how a simple 2-3 zone completely took away the ability to get the ball to Jefferson in the final five minutes, who was clearly dominating. What's worse, Andris Bierdins (owner of the worst free-throw in the history of organized basketball--worse that Shaq) had fouled out. There was no one to stop him, but the Wolves couldn't get past the historically tough Don Nelson Zone. Oh well.
