Anthony Edwards did not sound particularly surprised that his Minnesota Timberwolves struggled to score on Thursday. "We're not an offensive team," the star guard told reporters after the Timberwolves' 133-107 loss against the New York Knicks.

Towns gave fans at Target Center plenty of great memories, too, and they showed their appreciation. A sparse crowd cheered Towns when he came out for pregame warmups an hour before the game. By the time Towns was announced as a Knicks starter and the tribute played on the video board, a filled-in and sold-out crowd let out a roaring applause.
