Latrell Sprewell drives to the basket. Wolves 96, Clippers 84: KG scores 31 pointsOn Monday morning the Timberwolves worked. Hard, breaking a sweat while trying to wash away the bitter taste of Sunday's last-second loss to Memphis. That's where the Wolves' 96-84 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday night had its start, its roots. This year's Timberwolves team has an agenda that doesn't include home losses to Memphis. It just so happens the Clippers were the ones who paid for it. There's no escape for Wild center Marc Chouinard, sandwiched between Los Angeles' Mattias Norstrom, left, and Jason Holland on Tuesday night. Los Angeles 3, Wild 1: Mental slips hurt slim playoff chanceThe Wild's season -- insomuch as realistically pursuing the playoffs is concerned -- could be done by week's end. But Wild coach Jacques Lemaire has more immediate concerns than the what, such as the why and the how. His team, for instance, gave up a four-on-one Tuesday night that culminated in the deciding goal in a 3-1 loss to the Los Angeles Kings at Xcel Energy Center.

Boys' basketball: Chaska 86, Burnsville 52Way back before the basketball season began, the boys from Chaska circled Feb. 10 on the calendar. That was Tuesday, the day of their first Lake Conference meeting with Burnsville. And in using an explosive second half to beat the visiting Blaze 86-52, the top-ranked Hawks made a statement to the rest of Class 4A. Gophers try more bonding in preparation for MichiganWhen practice was over Tuesday, the carpool to the movie theatre began. The Gophers men's basketball players, the coaches and managers hopped in cars and made the two-mile drive to the St. Anthony Main theatres. The reason? A 4:20 p.m. screening of the movie "Miracle," something Gophers coach Dan Monson hopes will bring his team together as it looks for its first Big Ten victory tonight when it is host to Michigan.
