Beasley hitting his stride with the Timberwolves

By Bud L. Ellis

Michael Beasley is still figuring out life as a member of the Minnesota Timberwolves. But if this is a sign of what could be, the T’Wolves will be very happy with the offseason acquisition.

Beasley scored a career-high 42 points Wednesday night, sparking the T’Wolves to their first road victory of the season and only their second victory overall, a 98-89 victory at Sacramento.

Acquired in an offseason trade with Miami, Beasley put together his best game to date with his new team. The forward hit on 17-of-31 attempts from the floor, blowing past his previous career high of 30 points in the third quarter.

Victory is a rare feat for Minnesota, which coming in had lost a staggering 36 of its past 39 games dating back to Feb. 8. Sebastian Telfair scored 16 points and Wesley Johnson added 12 for Minnesota.

The T’Wolves return home to the Target Center on Friday night to play host to the New York Knicks.
