Minnesota Timberwolves 104-102 Sacramento Kings
Habitué à ne se voir offrir que des miettes depuis le début de la saison, Gorgui Dieng a fêté sa première dans le 5 des Wolves de fort belle manière dimanche soir. Le Sénégalais, champion NCAA avec Louisville, a profité de l'absence de Nikola Pekovic et de Ronny Turiaf pour enregistrer le premier double-double de sa carrière (12 points, 11 rebonds) contre les Kings, tout en affichant un joli potentiel défensif avec 5 contres. Si c'est une nouvelle fois Kevin Love qui a fait le gros du travail offensif (26 pts, 10 rbds et 5 pds), ce qu'à montré Dieng sur cette partie pourrait offrir une alternative intéressante à Rick Adelman jusqu'à la fin de la saison. Ronny Turiaf et Ricky Rubio se sont en tout cas empressés de saluer la belle prestation de leur coéquipier sur Twitter.Great win and what a game by my son @GorguiDieng Blue!!!!!!!! Double double machine!
