(Kevin Love is still an All-Star in this league having a very good season and I'd bet there's plenty of Wolves fans that would love to have him back, including me.)

Probably the most fun game of the year.

Would you start him over Taj? Seems like a crazy question...but Taj is SO consistently good.

Since Brewers or Mo Williams 52? Probably.

I'm not gonna lie, after that blistering half, the excitement kind of went away and it turned to pure bliss and happiness. The funnest game for me is still the game against Portland.

Personally, I felt a tinge of sadness during both of those games. Granted, Brewer's late-season explosion gave hope to a .500 season (Wolves lost next 3 games to finish 40 - 42 though). But Robbie Hummel was a starter in that game. The season was over... and it was wildly disappointing.
Mo Williams' game was even worse. The Wolves were 5 - 31... on a 15-game losing streak. Screamed "distracting fluke game" if there ever was one. Completely irrelevant in the grand scheme of Wolves lore. In fact, it was sorta sad that we were reminded repeatedly that both guys had bigger scoring games than a guy like Kevin Garnett.
Yep. Mo Williams... a guy who wasn't deemed good enough to be an everyday starter on an 11 - 41 team... was the best single-game scorer in team's history.

I think those stand out for me because of course, the team wasn't going anywhere. A small but very entertaining highlight game in the myriad of disastrous losing years. Both were out of no where and by obvious, not that great of players. Both being primarily backups or marginal starters on bad teams.

Mo Williams...the Wolves have a 2nd round pick coming for trading him in 2019 that's based on where the Heat finish.
What about the Wolves OT win over GS the year when they won 73 games?

Again... that win meant very little in the grand scheme of things, sans giving fans false hope for the 2017 season.
It felt like more of an entertaining blip on the radar... where I feel like the other games I noted felt more significant.
For example, I listed a few of the most memorable/signature games I remember...
- The first win in franchise history is probably more along the lines of a blip... but it was the first win... in OT so it's always memorable. I think there were 35k or 40k people there in the Dome. Basketball was back!
- The Sealy bank shot in 2000 came after some moderate success... it got the Wolves back above .500 and it was used as a springboard for the rest of the season. There was a great vibe to the Wolves at that time.
- The game vs. Sacramento early in 2004. The team was only ho-hum record-wise. That's the Garnett game... where he put his name into the MVP race. He willed them to victory against a good team. The team went about 50 - 17 the rest of the way.
- Game 7. Obviously. Franchise-high moment.
- The Love three pointer. The Wolves were plugging along at .500 after years of ineptitude. The Spanish rookie was captivating. Love was hitting the next level. It was a dramatic shot that got A LOT of play. It felt like the corner had been turned.
- I got some of the same Sealy/2004 vibes vs. Cleveland. It seemed like a game that was more than a game... a season-changing or at least defining type of game.
