(#13) Timberwolves - (#4) Jazz Series

This is a case where KG's awesomeness carried the entire Timberwolves team to a seeding I don't think they quite deserved. I mean, I don't think it'll make much difference if they play the Spurs or Warriors or Jazz here, but just in case you were wondering why they were seeded so high, it's because Garnett's total score comprises 67.39% of the Timberwolves total score. Anyway, on with the games!


Game 1: Timberwolves 105 - Jazz 93

Karl Malone (Ultimate Jazz)



Apparently I was wrong and the seeding did make a big difference. That had to be extremely stressful for the Jazz fans, and absolutely heartbreaking for Wolves fans. Sorry, guys. We didn't get our first upset yet, but we did get our first "Jerry West Award" winner for being named the Player of the Game in a losing effort: Karl Malone in Game 4. Congrats to the Mailman. Up next for the Jazz is the winner of the Kings and Clippers.
