Minnesota suffered another humiliating defeat today, with the 121-91 loss to Toronto increasing calls for coach Bob's dismissal. It's looking to be a tough season for the embattled coach, who simply hasn't brought in the level of talent or coaching required to succeed at this level. Said Toronto star Mcneal after the game, "I can't be sure who to blame, but Minnesota doesn't appear to be headed anywhere. Their coach hasn't brought in the kind of players he needed to, and it really didn't look like they knew what to do out there. Coach always comes up with a solid game plan for us and drills it into us, and I'm pretty sure he'd be able to do a better job than Bob is doing with Minnesota."

Toronto coach Bob refused to comment on the Minnesota coaching situation. "It's easy to be critical from where we stand, but I don't know enough about that situation to comment. I'm just happy with how we played today. We've got a great group of players and they did a tremendous job."

Toronto was led by Mcneal (13 points, 10 boards, 1 assists, a steal, 3 blocks), Chavis (28 points, 2 blocks), Wright (14 points, 13 boards, 2 assists, a block). Minnesota was led by Smith (26 points), Dirks (18 points, a block), Daniels (5 points, 10 boards, 3 assists).

Toronto are now 18-14 and 10-5 at home with today's victory. They stay at #2 in the Atlantic and stay at #4 overall in the Eastern Conference. Minnesota stand at 17-12. They stay at #2 in the Northwest and remain at #6 overall in the Western Conference.
