What a day to be a Minnesota Timberwolves fan.
The day started with the heartbreaking news of Karl-Anthony Towns’ tearing the meniscus in his left knee, and ended with an iconic performance from Anthony Edwards, who delivered an inspired, MVP-level performance in Towns’ absence.
After the initial shock of the injury news, everyone turned to the question that permeates all teams and their fanbases after an injury to an important player — “Who steps up in his absence?”
While the role players did a great job tonight and filled the large hole left by KAT, it was Minnesota’s very own superstar that took the game into his hands and willed his team to victory that sends a message to the entire league: the Timberwolves will not go quietly into the night.
