The Minnesota Timberwolves came to Madison Square Garden without the services of Anthony Edwards or Karl-Anthony Towns. They left conquerors, 140-134 over the New York Knicks. Sometimes the music means more than the meaning, and that was the case with this one: it sucks that the Knicks lost, but this game was headline after headline after headline, three spinning newspapers in one. Like Jesus, Elvis and Tupac all walking into the same bar.
Headline 1: Minnesota’s early shooting! Those 140 points they scored? The second-most the Knicks have allowed this season (they gave up 145 in the early-season home loss when OKC channeled the gods and rained 3s)?
