On Thursday, June 9, the FastBreak Foundation partnered with Great River Greening to launch the "Threes For Trees" initiative.
What is "Threes For Trees", you ask?
Well, it’s pretty straight-forward. The Foundation planted a tree for every 3-point shot made by the Timberwolves during home games during the month of April.
Fun facts: The team made 13 in the final game of the season against the New Orleans Pelicans, so that helped. In three homes games during the month, Zach LaVine made eight 3-pointers, Nemanja Bjelica made three, Karl-Anthony Towns, Gorgui Dieng, Andrew Wiggins, Ricky Rubio and Shabazz Muhammad made two each, while Tyus Jones pitched in with one.
