MINNEAPOLIS — For 48 hours, the NBA world got their shots in at the Minneapolis Timberwolves and Karl-Anthony Towns for their performances in a Game 3 collapse on Thursday.
The Wolves have preached that they are a resilient team, and Towns had more flops on the national stage in the last week than All-Star level performances.
For a night, the Wolves quieted the doubters and punched back like their season depended on it with a 119-118 victory that began Saturday night and ended early Sunday morning.
