"It was not the first time Wolves coach Rick Adelman had expressed some exasperation.

But the question had to be asked, right? So, Monday night, after Michael Beasley had come off the bench to score 34 points against Houston, Adelman was asked: Is it time to move Beasley back into the starting lineup?

Cue the eye roll. "I'm not going to answer that," Adelman said. "Let's just let that lie and just take this win."

It was a fair request, given the way the Wolves had dismantled a Rockets team that has been very good at home. The Wolves set a franchise record with 42 third-quarter points. Beasley matched a franchise record for points off the bench with 34. The Wolves scored a season-high 120 points while shooting a season-high 58.1 percent.

But Beasley's performance, in his third game back after missing 11 games because of a foot sprain, just points up the nice problem facing Adelman. The team, shorthanded by injury since the start of the season, is starting to get healthier."
