Rocky Hulne: Basketball needs to be a team sport

May 3—I was watching the Minnesota Timberwolves take on the Memphis Grizzlies last week, and it was astounding to watch the Wolves blow 10 point leads in three separate games as the Grizzlies kept the Wolves from winning their first playoff series since 2004.

Thanks to the play of Isaiah Thomas during my childhood, I have never been a Wolves' fan and I have stayed true to my Pistons, but I was more than a little aggravated at watching how the Timberwolves lost their season.

Throughout the series, their three biggest scorers Karl Anthony Town, Anthony Edwards and DeAngelo Russell found ways to hoist up horrible, early-in-the-shot clock heaves, when the game was tight and their season was being decided.
