DENVER – For 36 hours before the Timberwolves game against the Nuggets, controlling owner Glen Taylor and minority owners Marc Lore and Alex Rodriguez traded public barbs over the breakdown of an agreement for Lore and Rodriguez to take over as controlling owners of the team from Taylor.
While this was happening, the team, coaching staff and front office members carried on with their business, boarding a plane to Denver on Thursday in advance of Friday's game, which just happened to be one of the biggest of the regular season to date.
The Wolves then beat the Nuggets 111-98, and it seemed as if the players weren't bothered at all by what was happening with those who sign their checks.
