And finally, LeBron James echoed a similar sentiment to Morant and found it to be extremely funny.

Minnesota is the talk of the league right now. Patrick Beverley's iconic reaction will live on in highlight clips for years. But the real task is only beginning for the Timberwolves as they head to Memphis to take on the Grizzlies. Memphis finished with the NBA's second-best record and is expected to make a deep postseason run. It is going to take all hands on deck if they want to pull off the upset.

Perhaps the momentum from their victory over the Clippers will spark a Cinderella story for Minnesota.
