Owner Real Deal Posted November 26, 2012 Author Owner Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 http://sports.cbsimg.net/u/photos/basketball/nba/img21125185.jpg OAKLAND, Calif. -- Golden State rookie Harrison Barnes provided the signature moment of the game when he threw down a thunderous one-handed dunk over Minnesota center Nikola Pekovic in the second quarter. It was Barnes' rebounding that excited Warriors coach Mark Jackson the most. Barnes had 10 points and 11 rebounds, Klay Thompson scored a season-high 24 points and Golden State beat Minnesota 96-85 on Saturday night. The seventh overall pick in this year's draft, Barnes had three points as part of a 19-2 run in the fourth quarter, but it was his emphatic dunk over Pekovic that had the Oracle Arena crowd buzzing. After Alexey Shved's layup gave the Timberwolves a 41-38 lead, Barnes raced down the court and took a bounce pass from David Lee before grabbing the ball with his right hand and slamming it through the hoop as Pekovic tried to stop him. "Top, by far," Barnes said when asked where the dunk ranked in his basketball career. "It probably would have been a little bit better if it would have been and-one. I just wanted to finish strong." Jackson called it a big-time play by his young rookie. "Well it's behind Tom Chambers' [dunk] over me," Jackson said. "Harrison really showed his athletic ability and that's going to be one that he will remember for a long time to come. More importantly for him, he led us in rebounds. You've got to be committed as a big man to box out Pekovic and also Kevin Love."http://www.cbssports.com/nba/gametracker/recap/NBA_20121124_MIN@GS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
