Initiate the playoff launch sequence
INNEAPOLIS — Walking into the postgame press conference room, Karl-Anthony Towns stepped through the doors saying “don’t sleep on him, don’t sleep on him,” as Taurean Prince wrapped up his media avialability. D’Angelo Russell simply tweeted #DontBlink and tagged Prince, along with the image of this recap, after his best game in a Wolves uniform.
It was benches night to shine, led by the player they’ve expected plenty from after dealing Ricky Rubio to the Cleveland Cavaliers for him, a second-round pick and $2.5 million. Prince the way with 23 points (6-9 from deep) and 9 rebounds in what could best be described as a Corey Brewer Drug Test type of performance.
