MINNEAPOLIS -- Anthony Edwards and Patrick Beverley stood on the Target Center scorer's table, screaming and celebrating in an ode to an iconic moment in Minnesota Timberwolves franchise history when Kevin Garnett stood on the table and celebrated in the 2004 playoffs.
Not long after jumping off the table, Beverley sat on the Timberwolves bench and began sobbing in an outpouring of emotion. This was deeply personal for Beverley. Not only did the veteran point guard feel the ecstasy of beating his former team, but he also rejoiced in helping Minnesota clinch the seventh spot in the Western Conference playoffs with a 109-104 come-from-behind play-in win over the LA Clippers on Tuesday night.
