#6 – February 16, 2003 – Kevin Garnett: 37 points, 22 rebounds, 6 assists, 5 blocks, one steal
Garnett dropped a 5×4 game on the unsuspecting Warriors in February of 2003. He was all over the court, leading the Wolves to a 109-102 win and improving the Wolves record to 33-20 on the season.
KG shot 17 of 27 from the field and scored 37 points despite only attempting three free throws on the night. He also dominated the Warriors’ front line on the glass and in the paint with 22 rebounds and five blocks.
Wally Szczerbiak added 23 points for the Timberwolves but Anthony Peeler was the only other player in double-digits with 14 points. Garnett carried the team from start to finish, which certainly wasn’t the only time he did that in a ten-plus year stretch to start his career with the Wolves.
