A very weird night for the Timberwolves and Spurs who traveled to Mexico City for a basketball game, but couldn’t play it because the arena got so smoky that it had to be evacuated. The game will be rescheduled and played at Target Center. (This was a “home game” in Mexico for the Wolves from Minnesota.)
What happened after the game in Mexico is anyone’s best guess. I offer the above Photoshop as one possibility.
Next one is at home on Saturday against LeBron James (and Michael Beasley!) and the Miami Heat.

We’ll check in later this week with more.

[…] This is the second game of a back-to-back for the Timberwolves (10-11), who bounced back from a 103-82 by Miami on Saturday to annihilate Detroit on the road last night, beating the Pistons 121-94.
