Hassell's role growing - Minnesota Timberwolves
January 7, 2007
If Timberwolves star Kevin Garnett is right, then today's game against Houston might be less about the Rockets' T-Mac than the Wolves' T-Hass.
Trenton Hassell, Minnesota's top defender, is certain to play a key role when the streaking Western Conference rivals meet at the Target Center, if only because he'll have the primary responsibility of slowing Tracy McGrady, one of the hottest players in the NBA.
But Hassell's contribution as an emerging scoring threat also could play a big role for the Wolves — not only this afternoon but also as the season goes deeper and the games get more important for a team searching for offensive consistency.

"That probably would have been it for me."Less than three months after having open-heart surgery, Hoiberg can now reflect on all that might have gone wrong had he not had an echocardiogram, or a sonogram of his heart, while attempting to get a life insurance policy during the 2004-05 season.
