The game came as the same day as the NFL's schedule release, and the duo were bonding at the Wolves game as McCarthy appears set to take over as the Vikings' starting quarterback. They got a loud round of applause when they were shown on the video board.

The Timberwolves held a 3-1 series lead over the Warriors and would advance to the Western Conference finals with a victory Wednesday night. The game was still in progress at the time of publication.
