Michael Beasley and Derrick Williams took over Lob City tonight with 27 points a piece.  Talk about firepower off the bench, neither guy started the game and both were lights out.  The game was close through three quarters and Minnesota took over in the fourth. Beasley shot 11-for-15 and 3-for-3 from downtown.  It’s obvious why [...]
