This is an obituary for a team that has been dead for two hours.
This game was decided when the Minnesota Timberwolves, a team good enough to make the Western Conference Finals, put up only nine points in an entire opening quarter of an elimination playoff game.
There’s not much about the game that any of you readers would want to know that you haven’t already heard. Any time you go down 30 in a playoff game, there is a reasonable chance that things went wrong. Heck, it just happened to the Oklahoma City Thunder, and they returned the favor tonight.
