The Wolves Owned All 4,700 Basketball Squares

by John Wilmes

Minnesota's defensive effort in Game 2 was a transformative sight. In what appeared to be an effort to become one with their team name, they swarmed, smashed, hounded, snarled, took, and destroyed for 24 straight minutes to start the game. Not an inch of the court was safe.

The name is familiar. We have an invitational highschool tournament here in Vancouver every year where top teams from all over Canada and the U.S. come at the beginning of school year to see how they comapre to each other.

I recall a couple of years ago a Seattle team being here with 3 players that were touted as being the best they've seen at the tournament. The name Smith rings a bell. There were also two brothers that looked great but I can't remember their names.
