"That's just a formality," coach Flip Saunders said earlier this week. "I don't think there's much drama. It's pretty much signed, sealed and delivered. It's probably on a UPS truck coming up here right now."

Leading Minnesota to a 58-24 record and the top seed in the West, Garnett averaged 24.2 points and led the league with 13.9 rebounds. He also joined Larry Bird as the only players to average at least 20 points, 10 rebounds and five assists for five consecutive years.

The Timberwolves host the Sacramento Kings in Game 1 of their Western Conference semifinal series on Tuesday.

Minnesota beat the Denver Nuggets in five games to end a league-record streak of seven straight first-round exits.
