NBA players take on hobbies outside of basketball when they aren’t traveling or putting in work on the court on any given night during the season.

Everything was rolling for the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday night. They snatched a 121-105 victory over the Houston Rockets in a game they needed to have. Minnesota’s triples fell at an absurd rate, their turnover count was low, and Houston’s historic offense struggled to get off the ground. Avoiding a 3-0 deficit was obviously huge, but […]

The Minnesota Timberwolves took advantage of their return home with a solid 121-105 victory over the Houston Rockets in Game 3.

Whether you like ESPN personality Stephen A. Smith or not, the man is never afraid to speak his mind on a wide variety of sports and social issues.

The Minnesota Timberwolves and Karl-Anthony Towns have gotten off to a slow start in their first playoff appearance in over a decade.

Karl-Anthony Towns didn’t have the strong bounce-back game every player in the series expected him to have after a disappointing nine-point outing in Game 1.

The Minnesota Timberwolves almost beat the Houston Rockets in Game 1 of the Western Conference playoffs, but it wasn’t because of what Karl-Anthony Towns did.

The Minnesota Timberwolves lost to the Houston Rockets in Game 1 of their first-round playoffs matchup, 104-101.

Towns finished the series opener with a paltry […]

The NBA Playoffs demand players to have laser-shar focus in games.

It started with a foul call on Timberwolves shooting guard Jimmy Butler while trying to defend […]
