The Minnesota Timberwolves hosted the Memphis Grizzlies last night for a win-or-go-home Game 6. The Grizzlies took a 3-2 lead at home, and hoped to wrap things up, and that is exactly what they did. The Timberwolves had played brilliantly throughout the series, barring the 4th quarters.
In this series, the Wolves have blown three double-digit leads in the 4th quarter. Their All-Star Karl-Anthony Towns failed to take over in the 4th and dominate the paint. With KAT lurking around the perimeter, the Grizzlies easily managed to get stops and make runs.
Anthony Edwards put up impressive stats for his first-ever playoff series. He recorded the most points in the playoffs by any player in NBA history before turning 21.
On the other hand, Karl-Anthony Towns had a mediocre series, and disappointed all with his 4th quarter antics.
NBA Twitter trolls Karl-Anthony Towns
Entering the game tonight, the Minnesota Timberwolves should have won the series 4-1 already. They had blown 2 games where they had a 10+ point lead entering the 4th. Many expected the Wolves to clean up their act tonight, however, that wasn’t the case.
Karl-Anthony Towns once again spent the 4th quarter on the perimeter and failed to knock down his shots. After the game, he was seen waving to the audience, which did not sit right with NBA Twitter, They decided to troll the big.
The Wolves had a terrific season, and it would be interesting to see what moves they make this offseason to bolster their chances for the future.
