Timberwolves 96, Spurs 88: Non-Stopped The Losing Streak
Photo by David Sherman/NBAE via Getty ImagesJust 24 hours after the Timberwolves and Spurs slugged it out, it was announced that both teams would be missing their best players for round 2. Karl-Anthony Towns was rightfully out due to rest after his heroic return, 4 weeks earlier than anticipated. DeMar Derozan, who torched the Wolves for 38 points on just 23 shots (0 three pointers!), would understandably be out to tend to his ill father. We here at Canis Hoopus send our best wishes and a speedy recovery to Mr. Frank Derozan. In a time filled with so much chaos and death, it’s always important to keep perspective on what’s important.
No Karl-Anthony Towns? No problem!
