The brave and probably bored souls who cut through the biting cold to take refuge for a few hours at Target Center didn’t exactly get to see poetic NBA basketball.
The Timberwolves are trying to survive a rash of injuries while the struggling Grizzlies make no excuses for their style of play. They are here to muck up the game, slow things down and make it a choppy affair.
The teams at least gave fans a little bonus — overtime to keep them out of the frigid air a while longer. Or perhaps it wasn’t such a good thing given the play was about as sloppy as your morning commute in a snowstorm.
