*Boxscore *Video Hightlights
     (MN 04/02/06 by Poundmaster) Marcus Banks hit two go ahead free throws to put the Wolves up 103-101 with 53 seconds remaining in overtime, and Ricky Davis hit three more free throws to seal a 106-104 victory over the San Francisco Warriors this afternoon. Banks was the Wolves leading scorer with 24 points and 7 assists. Jason Richardson led the losing Warriors with 33 points and 6 assists. Starter Rashad McCants had another nice game with 19 points.
    Minnesota, which won for the first time in five overtime games, is now 2-9 in one possession games. The other win was Feb. 6 at Phoenix when Kevin Garnett scored with 31.9 seconds remaining and blocked Shawn Marion at the buzzer.
      Minnesota was 1-for-11 in the first eight minutes of the third quarter as the Warriors opened a 66-61 lead before making four straight shots for a 70-66 lead with 1:50 remaining.
     
"These games that you win you learn from." Garnett said. "It's just that a learning lesson. It builds confidence and character, and hopefully we can carry it over."

"He (Rookie Rashad McCants) has matured so fast, probably because he's had no choice, given the position that he's in. He had to succeed. He had to be aggressive. It's been learn-as-you-go. He's handled it. He's maturing beautifully, and it's working out. So far, so good."
