Wait, The Wolves Won? By Thirty? – Friday Sports Blast
The Timberwolves posted a lopsided win, Gopher men's basketball saw its season come to a close and the Twins fell in Spring Training... Here's a look at everything you missed on Thursday and what to look forward to on Friday.
- The Minnesota Timberwolves overcame an early 16-point deficit and beat the Pelicans 135-105 in New Orleans. Yes, I double checked it and it's true.
Wolves reserve Jaylen Nowell led Minnesota with 28 points, while rookie Anthony Edwards added 27 for the Wolves. The Timberwolves are now 8-29 on the season and will host Portland Saturday.
- The Gopher men's basketball team fell 79-75 to #9 Ohio State in the second round of the Big Ten Tournament. Minnesota's season ends with a record of 14-15.
- The Boston Red Sox beat the Minnesota Twins 5-4 in Ft. Myers, Florida. Twins rookie Alex Kirilloff provided a home run in the loss.
The Twins will take on Atlanta Friday at noon (WJON).
- The St. Cloud Technical and Community College baseball team played for the first time in 364 days and split a doubleheader with Hibbing at US Bank Stadium late Thursday night and early Friday morning.
The Cyclones fell 10-9 in the first game before winning the second game (which began at nearly 12:30 a.m.) 8-0.
