Twitter Reacts to Wild Timberwolves-Clippers Play-in Game, Pat Bev’s Antics
In a battle to secure the No. 7 seed in the Western Conference, the Timberwolves overcame a double-digit fourth-quarter deficit to beat the Clippers 109–104 in the play-in game. While Karl-Anthony Towns played just 24 minutes after getting into foul trouble early, D’Angelo Russell and Anthony Edwards led the way for Minnesota, scoring 29 and 30 points respectively.
Patrick Beverley put in a classic performance of his own, scoring seven points with 11 rebounds and frustrating the Clippers throughout. Several late defensive stops and an offensive rebound from Beverly on the game’s final free throw helped seal the deal for a Timberwolves squad without much postseason experience.
Here were some of Twitter’s best reactions to Tuesday’s game:

Wolves are an unusual combo of alternating between playing super loose and incredibly tight possession to possession

wow, feels like the Clippers really let this one slip away. Incredibly impressive effort from the Wolves with basically nothing from KAT. what a weird, wonderful game
