Karl-Anthony Towns excited about Alex Rodriguez becoming Wolves owner
Jon Krawczynski: KAT very excited about the prospect of adding A-Rod to Wolves ownership. Told a story of how his mother once essentially helped him lift an A-Rod jersey from a Wal-Mart when the family had hard times financially. KAT is a huge A-Rod fan.
Christopher Hine: Karl-Anthony Towns just relayed a story about when he was younger in a Wal-Mart with his mom when he really wanted an A-Rod jersey. The family didn’t have much money, so Towns just put the jersey on, they bought a few other things … and he walked out with the jersey on.
Tom Orsborn: DeMar on his plan on final possession: “Honestly, just trying to get to my spot, knowing the clock, taking my time, not rushing, just going to a move I have worked on so many times, concentrate, knock down the shot.”
Paul Garcia: According to my game tracker, the Spurs now have 13 wins as favorites and 12 wins as underdogs.
The result prevented the Mavericks from sweeping a season series from the Spurs for the first time in the rivalry’s 41-season history — but more importantly, it was a stinging defeat for the Mavericks (29-23) in their ongoing quest to climb into the top six in the Western Conference. Instead of winning for the seventh time in their last eight games, the Mavericks fell to a Texas rival for the second time in four days. Houston and San Antonio are otherwise winless in April, making the two defeats all the more damaging. “He made a hell of a shot, over a good defender,” Luka Doncic said of DeRozan.
“Going for the block, in my head I saw that clearly I was going to get the block,” Porzingis said. “But he’s good at leaning back and I hit his head a little bit. It’s a tough one, obviously. I wanted to be out there. Even with everything we had a chance to win the game. Doncic (29 points, seven assists) tied the score at 117 on a shot from the lane with 19.4 seconds left, setting up DeRozan’s heroics. “DeMar hit a huge shot,” Porzingis said. “Hat’s off to him. That just shows how hard it is to win every night, against an NBA team.”
