The Los Angeles Clippers will be without Luke Kennard when they play the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday evening.

In what will be an interesting Xs and Os matchup, Karl-Anthony Towns and the Timberwolves host the Clippers in a 7/8 play-in matchup.

The Clippers’ offense has better shooters and if their inside-out game works to get guys like Kennard, Norman Powell, Covington, and Batum clean looks, the Timberwolves are in trouble. However, George has missed a lot of time this season and the ball sharing with Reggie Jackson in the clutch, the finding of shooters like Luke Kennard on the pass, is not smooth yet. It sounds rather simplistic, but it’s going to be true in this game because both rely on it: Whichever team shoots better from 3 will win this game. George gives the Clippers what every team needs in the postseason: A guy who can just go get them a bucket. Straight big-man matchups with Ivica Zubac, a feisty smaller big who will get under Towns’ skin in Marcus Morris, quick doubles with Paul George and Robert Covington, and if the Timberwolves use a pick to try and get a matchup they want no team scram switches better behind the play than the Clippers. Los Angeles had a lot of long, high IQ defenders and they can execute what will be a clever game plan from Tyronn Lue (an underrated game coach). This is the best Xs and Os matchup of the entire first round.

Minnesota and Los Angeles face off for a shot at the No. 7 seed in the West.

This game should be a fun one, and with George back for the Clippers, it wouldn't be surprising to see this team come away with the win. Clippers: L.A. isn't used to being this low in the West standings, and frankly not many people expected this team to look this impressive with Kawhi Leonard sidelined the entire season from an ACL tear. Minnesota's offense has the ability to run teams off the floor, and if it's clicking Tuesday night then the Wolves could cruise to a win. A win by either team will secure the No. 7 spot in the Western Conference playoffs, while a loss means another game to fight for the final spot in the postseason.

If those two can continue to play at a high level -- and Towns bounces back -- they'll be a tough out for Memphis.

A woman had to be escorted off the floor at Target Center during the Minnesota Timberwolves' play-in game Tuesday night after apparently trying to glue ...

The incident happened during the second quarter, as the Timberwolves were trying to recover from a slow start. The woman was quickly escorted off the floor by at least two police officers. She was protesting the mass killing of chickens at Rembrandt Enterprises, a factory egg farm in Iowa owned by Taylor.

Anthony Edwards and D'Angelo Russell came up huge after Karl-Anthony Towns fouled out as the Wolves set up a first-round series with the Grizzlies.

"When he’s in that mode, it ignites the team," George said. on his way off the court following his ejection for a second technical foul. Nicolas Batum was his primary tormentor, but most of the Clippers had a hand in it. "The game had to go in a different direction," coach Chris Finch said. His only points came on a pair of free throws, and he flashed a sarcastic smile and pumped his first after getting that call. Jackson’s 3-pointer gave the Clippers their largest lead of the game at 93-83 with 8:54 remaining, but about four minutes later Russell knocked down the go-ahead 3-pointer for a 97-95 advantage the Wolves never relinquished.

The protest during the Clippers-Timberwolves game was in response to a farm Taylor owns which was reportedly behind a recent mass killing of 5.3 million...

PETA said in a blog post on April 8, citing 22 million chickens killed during the current outbreak, that "the best form of disease control on farms and at other facilities ... is for them to stop raising and killing animals for food." It appears this wasn't the first time an avian influenza outbreak occurred at a Taylor-owned farm. The group Direct Action Everywhere also named Santurio, who appeared to be wearing a shirt that read "Glen Taylor Roasts Animals Alive."

The Clippers made costly mistakes down the stretch of Tuesday's game.

The Clippers also had another night of scattered cold scoring stretches, which weren’t helped by their percentage from the free-throw line (74-1%). If they’re going to bounce back on Friday night, it has to start with their shot selection and their spacing offensively. The Clippers tried their best to match that intensity but ultimately fell short, losing 109-104 at the Target Center. They’ll now play whoever wins between the San Antonio Spurs and New Orleans Pelicans in another play-in game on Thursday. Specifically, the Clippers turned the ball over 17 times, something you just can’t do against a team as offensively sound as the Timberwolves.

Was the Timberwolves celebration over the top? 5. This was great job by the Phillies fans. The truth is, both things can be true. On the other side, you had people saying it was ridiculous to celebrate a play-in game win as if it were Game 7 of the NBA Finals. It’s the second playoff appearance in 18 years for the Timberwolves so they went all out while celebrating the victory. Of course, this turned into a debate on Twitter. One one side, we had people saying: Sports are fun.

The Minnesota Timberwolves beat the Los Angeles Clippers 109-104 Tuesday, earning the No. 7 seed in the NBA's Western Conference playoffs.

But at the end of the third quarter, the City of Angels squad held a six-point lead and advanced it to 10. Minnesota, has lost an average of 46 games over the past three seasons, but survived another day. At the start of the final frame, Minnesota sat four points behind, yet the lead proceeded to flip back and fourth. The Target Center erupted. “Play-in, to be able to beat them … another goal scratched off.” Minnesota’s seven point lead as the clock wound down gave the team life.

On Tuesday night, he helped the franchise secure only its second trip to the postseason since Garnett stood on the same table after leading the Wolves to the Western Conference finals in 2004. I love it. I love it. "This is just the icing on the cake, the cherry on top. To be able to come here and play them in a play-in and beat they ass, no other feeling, man. "Long flight to L.A. Take they ass home. "Man, I wanted this one so bad," said Beverley, who hugged his mother, Lisa, on the court. Not long after jumping off the table, Beverley sat on the Timberwolves bench and began sobbing in an outpouring of emotion.

The woman was removed from Target Center after she tried to glue her hand to the basketball court Tuesday night.

More than 13 million birds in the state, mostly egg-laying chickens, have been killed by the virus or face euthanasia to prevent further spread. Taylor, a Mankato-based billionaire who made his fortune in the printing industry, is best known as the leader of Taylor Corp., which has a number of subsidiaries. The U.S. Department of Agriculture says the VSD+ method is "permitted in constrained circumstances" to kill birds as quickly as possible.

Vikings linebacker Za'Darius Smith took to social media to showcase the outing, which mostly included defensive players for the Vikings.

Willis — my QB1 — has the agility and speed of a high-end receiver but the lower-body build of an inside linebacker. That was the most by any player in the country, and more than a dozen better than second place (Breece Hall, 92). He averaged 0.5 missed tackles per touch, meaning he forced one every other rush. He even got 19 offensive touches at Houston. But he makes this list for his ability as a return man. The 2022 All-Satellite team is littered with prospects who are tough to contain when they get some room to operate, and I ranked the best of the best. Williams did not run the 40-yard dash at the combine — he is recovering from a torn ACL suffered during the College Football Playoff national title game — but he would have likely been among the fastest burners in Indianapolis. He averaged 19.9 yards per reception last year. Jones hasn't participated in pre-draft workouts as he works back from a shoulder injury, but his speed/quickness combination on tape is elite. I think he's one of the fastest players in the country. Jones is a 5-foot-8, 174-pound nickelback who reads the quarterback well and excels in zone coverage. His instincts are terrific, and he is at his best on the move — both as a passer and a runner. That combination of traits is unparalleled in this draft class — and it would be in most classes, for that matter. Numerous players were in attendance at Target Center for the play-in game between the Timberwolves and Clippers, which ended with a 109-104 win for the home team. Edwards and Russell combined for 59 points in the victory, which helped the Timberwolves secure a playoff berth for just the second time in 17 years.
