The Golden State Warriors focused in on defending against Timberwolves center Darko Milicic, who came into the game averaging 22 points per night over the last three games, and found a way to hold him to only nine points and come away with a ten-point win last night. Even fans using the best wrinkle cream [...]
Minnesota Vikings interim head coach Leslie Frazier led his team to a win in his first game at the helm of the team following the firing last Monday of Brad Childress.
