After another winning record on their road trip (3-2), the Golden State Warriors return home to play the Minnesota Timberwolves, one of the teams they beat on the last trip. The T-wolves held a lead in that game going into the second half but the Warriors overcame it with some tough defense and getting to the rim. Al Jefferson had a big game with his usual double-double but didn't receive enough help to get the win.

For the Warriors, the return home gives the fans an opportunity to see the team play during the holidays. A usual wednesday game at the Oracle against a less than stellar oppenent doesn't usually generate much interest, but tonight's game is nearly sold out and the crown should be electric. The Dubs need to use that energy and put this team away because the Timberwolves have shown the ability to score on the Warriors. Hopefully being back at home will energize Baron Davis's scoring so he can strengthen his All-Star chances.

The gameplan:

- Gift Returns: Warriors return home and give the same gift to the Wolves: a loss.
- Run and gun
- Stop big Al

DubTown Forecast:

- Monta Ellis goes off
- Jackson gets a technical
- Biedrins dunks on Jefferson..you heard it here first!

The Man: Monta Ellis, 22 points, 8 assists, 3 steals
PWK: Antoine Walker. Don't Laugh..he'll make some threes

Result: Warriors 114 Minnestoa 102

Go DUBS!
