MINNEAPOLIS >> The Timberwolves’ home crowd was going wild.
DeAndre Jordan had just left a free throw short, and one more miss meant free frozen yogurt for everyone with a ticket. They knew the math, that Jordan had been missing roughly 60 percent of his free throws this year.
And as the Clippers star center stepped to the line with just more than 2 minutes left in the fourth quarter Saturday night, the people howling could probably taste the cold treat covered with sprinkles, chocolate chips and maraschino cherry.
All Jordan had to do was miss a free throw, something he’s done 1,368 times in his career.
