The Timberwolves' defense is entirely based on Kevin Garnett; he's the backbone, omnipresent on defense.
Meanwhile, Sprewell is biting at his former teammate Allan Houston, while Sam Cassell is closely sticking to Tayshaun Prince, causing psychological damage.
For a time, the Warriors had no one to cover Roger.
But Roger wasn't trapped. He continually ran inside, completely attracting Garnett to himself, and just before colliding with Garnett, he passed the ball through KG's spread legs to the cutting Stoudemire! Stoudemire didn't opt for a jump shot; he didn't have KG's cleanliness obsession but rather did a drive-in slam directly facing the basket after receiving the ball!
