Extractions: MINNEAPOLIS Kevin Garnett quietly sneaked out the back door, avoiding the media on the last night of the Minnesota Timberwolves' disappointing season. It was a fitting finish to a chapter in Timberwolves history that few will want to talk about again. Ndudi Ebi had a career-high 18 points and eight rebounds and Michael Olowokandi had 10 points and 14 boards as Minnesota capped its season with a 95-73 victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night. "It was a very disappointing season because the expectations were so high," interim coach Kevin McHale said. "We had a lot of depth, a lot of length, a lot of quickness. It just didn't materialize. And that's a travesty." The Spurs were uninterested for most of the game, already having locked up the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference. They will open the playoffs on Sunday at home against Denver.
