Congratulations to my good friend Minnesota Timberwolves owner Alex Rodriguez, superstar Anthony Edwards and the entire Minnesota Timberwolves team for beating my Lakers and advancing to the next round. The reason the Lakers lost was because they played awful on defense, they were too small, and the Timberwolves dominated them in the paint.
Marc Lore and Alex Rodriguez submit financial documents to complete $1.5 billion purchase of Minnesota Timberwolves and Lynx -- story at @TheAthletic with @JonKrawczynski: https://t.co/Y6R2B7L8Ew
Dyal Capital Partners has joined as a pre-approved investor in the Lore-Rodriguez group, giving them the final financial backing necessary to complete the transaction, sources said. Lore and Rodriguez are ready to close the sale as soon as NBA approves.
Just in: Marc Lore and Alex Rodriguez have submitted signed financial documentation to NBA to complete acquisition of majority controlling ownership of the Minnesota Timberwolves and Lynx from Glen Taylor, multiple sources with direct knowledge told me and @JonKrawczynski.
So proud of this team. True heart, hustle and grit tonight all game long. A real TEAM win fueled by that incredible crowd.
Playoff bound! #LetsGoWolves
