MINNEAPOLIS — Minnesota Timberwolves star Karl-Anthony Towns was subbed out of Game 3 on Thursday and let out his frustration as he walked by teammates en route to his seat.
“Get me the motherf***ing ball,” he shouted at teammates as he took his seat during the first-round playoff matchup. “These motherf***ers can’t guard me. S***, let’s go.”
The Timberwolves didn’t get him the ball, resulting in the three-time All-Star shooting only four times in 33 minutes of play. His team’s inability to work him into the offense contributed to a monumental collapse that ended in an 104-95 defeat.
