The Minnesota Timberwolves had a particular group of persons in mind before and after Tuesday's win over the Sacramento Kings.
Minnesota dedicated its victory to the family of George Floyd, hours after Derek Chauvinâthe police officer charged in Floyd's deathâwas deemed guilty on all three charges.

A few Timberwolves players spoke on the verdict during postgame press conferences, including All-Star center Karl-Anthony Towns.
The 25-year-old, who himself has endured quite a bit of loss dating back to last April, said the outcome of the trial does not change the idea Floyd should still be alive.
âIt's unfortunate that our city has been going through this so much,â Towns said, via TMZ. âJust because justice was served today for Mr. Floyd doesn't mean that we are gonna be bringing him back home. And that's the most unfortunate part of all of this.â
