Prep Sports Postseason Heating Up – Saturday Sports Blast
The Minnesota Timberwolves fell to the Phoenix Suns, the Twins dropped a spring training game to the Braves, the Granite City Lumberjacks let a close one slip away, and local prep basketball teams fought to stay alive in the postseason. Here's a recap of all things sports for your Saturday:
- The Timberwolves fell to Phoenix 113-103 on the road. Karl-Anthony Towns posted 24 points and nine rebounds and Ricky Rubio added 21 points. The Wolves fall to 10-32 and will return home Monday to host the OKC Thunder at 7:00 p.m.
- The Minnesota Twins also had a rough ending to their week, falling to the Atlanta Braves 4-2 in a spring training matchup. Byron Buxton and Alex Kirilloff each ran one in for the Twins. Randy Dobnak threw for five strikeouts, one hit, and one run in a little over three innings. The relief squad gave up four additional hits and three runs.
