Stat Line: 30 minutes, 5-12 FG, 1-4 3FG, 1-2 FT, 12 pts, 2 rebs, 9 assts, 2 TOs.
A career-high in assists for Jonny Flynn, mainly because his teammates knocked down a few jumpers. Flynn's averaging around four assists per game, but I think it could easily be six if Minnesota could shoot it a little better as a club.
Only two turnovers for Flynn, and they came on back-to-back possessions in the third quarter. He missed a tough layup that would have given the Wolves the lead with about 30 seconds to go, but other than that, this was a solid game for the rookie. He played most of the fourth quarter alongside Ramon Sessions, who kept the Wolves in the game with his offense in the second half. Kurt Rambis has for the most part resisted deploying his two point guards at the same time despite the fact that they are probably the team's two most dangerous offensive players not named Al Jefferson, probably for defensive reasons. Memphis' dimunitive -- but effective -- backcourt of Mike Conley and O.J. Mayo let Rambis go small. As productive as the Flynn-Sessions combo was, I wouldn't expect to see it too often.
