Danny Granger SF Ryan Gomes
Chris Wilcox PF Kevin Love
Chris Kaman C Al Jefferson

(28-28) 104 @ 120 (24-29)

Top Performers:
Player Of The Game:

Al Jefferson

Quote Of The Game:
"Just a total lack of effort out there tonight. We weren't contesting shots, boxing out for rebounds. I'm not trying to take credit away from the Timberwolves, they played great basketball, but these are games we have to win or we will never get over .500." - Pacers GM Larry Bird

You had some good stats, too bad you lost

You had some good stats, too bad you lost

Yeah, our offense just went ice cold in the 3rd. I couldn't seem to get it going with anyone, not even Granger.

just keeping you away from .500, lol

Yeah, frustrating beyond belief.

Top Performers:
Player Of The Game:

Danny Granger

Quote Of The Game:
"I feel sorry for any fans at home who fell asleep watching this one. This game will go down in history as one of the longest games in NBA history. When people pick up their newspaper tomorrow and look at the boxcore, it won't show that Derrick fouled out in the 4th overtime. It won't show that Drew left early in the 5th overtime with an injury. But that proved to be the dagger for them that allowed us to emerge victorious tonight." - Pacers Head Coach Jim O' Brien
