The Minnesota Timberwolves had to face the cruel fate of basketball. On a historic night for Karl-Anthony Towns, who scored 62, the team lost by three points to the 13th-seeded Charlotte Hornets. The latter overcame an 18-point deficit to stun the Wolves. Towns’ accomplice and the foundational star Anthony Edwards only managed to score 9 points in 40 minutes.

Despite his forgetful performance on offense, Ant-Man remained tenacious in getting stops for the Wolves. His defensive rating of 12 was the best among the starters. He also had a better +/- than KAT. But it doesn’t matter at the end of the day. A loss is a bitter pill to swallow. It is especially infuriating when you are the top seed losing to the bottom dwellers of the NBA.

Edwards would have had every right to sulk and be upset about his performance. Yet, he jumped right back into his home life and arranged a sweet surprise for his girlfriend, Jeanine Robel.
