Best memes and tweets after Timberwolves win their Super Bowl

After winning their Super Bowl in the NBA’s play-in tournament, Timberwolves fans celebrated like never before on social media.

The Timberwolves defeated the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday night behind an incredible 31-point fourth quarter, as they overcame a late deficit to clinch a spot in the first-round against the Memphis Grizzlies.

Was the celebrating a little over the top? Sure. But why the heck not? Participation trophies don’t grow on trees.

Charles Barkley was far from the only analyst, pundit or fan to take a jab at the Minnesota franchise for treating the play-in tournament like the NBA Finals. That being said, this is what Adam Silver wanted — more competitive games in smaller market that aren’t as used to seeing playoff basketball.

Grow the game, right?

In the end, we’re happy for Minnesota basketball fans. It’s been a long run of futility — truly one that only a few fanbases could ever understand.

But it doesn’t mean we also can’t have some fun at their expense.
