Pups Whip Spurs...To End Painful Season

  A 2012-13 Minnesota Timberwolves season that started with great expectations ended April 17, 2013, with a meaningless 108-95 ass-whuppin' of the San Antonio Spurs, second-best team in the Western Conference. Not since 2004 had the T-Wolves won in San Antonio, a streak that lasted 16 games over eight seasons--and apparently meant nothing to the championship-contending Spurs who rested stars Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili, and Tony Parker the entire fourth quarter.
  The Wolves were led by second-year forward Derrick Williams who finished the game with a team-high 21 tallies and the season with strong statement that he--not prima donna, knuckle-busting, lip-flapping, glory-hounding Kevin Love--could be the premier T-Wolves forward of the future.
  While the Wolves head to the lottery for the ninth straight season, their 31-51 final regular season record marks the first time they've topped 30 victories in a season since 2006-07--yet another utterly pathetic statistic. The Spurs, meanwhile, will visit the playoffs for the 16th straight season, this year as a strong contender once again.
  Stay tuned for a season-ending special from LeBounce, coming this weekend.
