SUBSCRIBER ONLY Minnesota Timberwolves | Timberwolves nuked by Suns, drop to third seed and will meet Phoenix in Round 1 A shot at the No. 1 seed was still in play in the regular season finale Sunday. But any path to that required a victory Sunday against Phoenix. And, uh, that didn't come to fruition. Phoenix blitzed Minnesota 125-106 at Target Center, knocking the Timberwolves down to the No. 3 seed and moving Phoenix up to No. 6. So the Wolves, who were non-competitive in all three games against Phoenix this season, will square off with perhaps with the team they match up worst against in Round 1. Game 1 will be next weekend at Target Center. Minnesota better search for some answers between now and then. Because the Wolves never were within single digits in the second half of any game against Phoenix all season. In the first matchup of the season, the Wolves were on the second half of a back to back. So that loss was chalked up to that. In the second loss, the Wolves essentially said they just weren't themselves and didn't knock down shots. Plus, those games were in Phoenix, so Sunday was a good test to see how the Wolves would fare at Target Center. Answer: Not well. There was no ready-made excuse for Sunday's debacle. Minnesota had loads of incentive to win. But it again sputtered out of the gates, committing an insulting 19 first-half turnovers, which tied an NBA record. And Phoenix continued to get seemingly whatever it wanted offensively. Prized offseason acquisition Brad Beal went 6 for 6 from deep en route to 36 points. Grayson Allen was 8 for 11 from the field. Kevin Durant and Devin Booker, frankly, didn't have incredible days. And it didn't matter. Because Minnesota's size can't seem to lineup man to man against Phoenix's plethora of scorers. The Wolves' path to victory in the first-round series will be to out-size Phoenix. They did to some extent Sunday. Jusuf Nurkic was in foul trouble for much of the night. Rudy Gobert drew one foul after another. The center helped Minnesota make mini runs in the second half. But every Wolves' burst was greeted by another Phoenix made shot to stem the tide. If nothing major changes in the playoffs, the Wolves may be making another early-round exit.

Conley's Corner: A vision realized, but not yet complete

Conley's Corner: A vision realized, but not yet complete

By: Jace Frederick

Entering his 17th NBA season, the 36-year-old Timberwolves point guard has seen it all and has the knowledge and willingness to explain what's taken place and what's to come with the media and, thus, the fans. That breadth of insight and analysis extends from the on-court Xs and Os to team dynamics and development.

SUBSCRIBER ONLY High School Sports | Group hoping to get Jim Carter's name attached to South St. Paul stadium Terry Abrams came up with the idea to put Carter's name up on the football field. Of course, South St. Paul's playing surface is Ettinger Field. The plan a group has put together to present to the school board is to name the football field: Ettinger Field at Jim Carter Stadium. Paul Miller and Gaylen Bicks, who both attended high school with Carter, presented the case to a school board committee on Tuesday evening. Carter's athletic achievements speak for themselves. He was a standout football and hockey player, earning All-American status at the high school level. As a senior running back, Carter tallied 2,345 yards rushing — 261 per game on nine yards per carry — and 30 touchdowns while guiding the Packers to an undefeated record. Gregg Veldman's father, Pete, was the long-time athletic director at South St. Paul. Gregg surmised his dad watched “as many football games as anybody in the world.” “And he never saw a football player as good as Jim Carter,” Gregg said. “He said he was just absolutely a dominating presence on the field.” Carter went on to play fullback for the Gophers, where he captained the 1967 Minnesota squad. Professionally, he was a Pro Bowl linebacker for the Packers. Carter is in the University of Minnesota Hall of Fame, the South St. Paul Sports Hall of Fame and the Mancini's Hall of Fame, among others. There are few honors he has not accrued. “From South St. Paul, we're a little biased, but he was as good as anybody ever from Minnesota,” Miller said. “When he ran the football, he was relentless. Stuff you've never seen. … At the time he was playing, he really represented our town with the manner in which he played.” Yet that was only part of the reason Carter was so beloved. At the tail end of Carter's senior hockey season, he was in the locker room with Bicks, voting on captains for the following season, as well as the current year's team MVP. Carter wrote down Bicks' name for the latter. “I said, ‘Carts, what did I do? I was just a backup goalie. I didn't play much,'” Bicks recalled. Carter responded: “You were as much a part of this team as anybody.” “That's how humble he was. He was a team player. He wanted to share,” Bicks said. “It was a treasure to play with him.” Carter struggled with alcoholism during his NFL career. But he managed to turn that blemish into a positive for others, as well. Not only was Carter heavily involved in Alcoholics Anonymous over the second half of his life — Bicks said Carter didn't have a drink after 1983 — but he was active in supporting others going through similar issues through sponsorship or any other method of aid. “People talked about how he helped them with their addiction,” Miller said. “If somebody wanted help, he would go to no ends to help anybody that really wanted help.” That helping hand extended to most areas of life, but was especially prevalent in South St. Paul athletics. Pete Veldman would tell those around him that Carter's number was “on speed dial” if there was ever anything the department needed. He is listed as a platinum donor at Doug Woog Ice Arena. Additional aid from Carter ranged from funding an additional assistant coach to covering costs for kids who needed shoes or camp fees covered, but couldn't afford it. “And Jim just gave (my dad) the money. And this was unbeknownst to really anybody until after he died, because he didn't want anybody to know,” Gregg Veldman said. “He was that kind of guy. He was just a really great person in that way in that he was very unselfish and didn't want to be out in the limelight.” Most things Carter did were anonymous. It's quite apparent the only way to grant him with such an honor as this would be posthumously. In 2003, Carter was named the annual honoree of the South St. Paul Open Foundation Board, which honors “the impact an individual or a group can have on a community and that community's youth.” In his latter years, Carter was a frequent invitee to come speak to current high schoolers, and also made his visits about the kids. Bicks has received numerous letters voicing support for “Jim Carter Stadium,” ranging from Carter's Gophers teammate Bob Stein to former governor Arne Carlson, and well beyond. Should the naming rights eventually be approved by the school board, Bicks said the hope is to also make improvements to the field in Carter's honor, noting there are contributors anxiously waiting to step up. Gregg Veldman said putting Carter's name on the stadium is “perfect.” Because, for so long, Carter's name has been synonymous with South St. Paul athletics, first as an athlete, and then as a benefactor. “Some of that (memory) is starting to fade a little bit, because we're all getting old,” Miller said. “But we think it's a good way of maybe honoring people. It's almost like you're honoring a generation, in that sense.”

After South St. Paul legend Jim Carter passed away in the fall, his friends immediately started thinking of ways to potentially honor the local icon.
