MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) – The Minnesota Timberwolves hosted the New York Knicks Thursday night in Karl-Anthony Towns’ return to Target Center, and things got a little crazy in the second quarter.

As the Knicks were dominating, two women stormed the court as the game was going to a timeout. They were both wearing Knicks’ colors, one made it near the TNT courtside broadcast before quickly being escorted away by police. The other never made it past the Knicks’ bench, and was stopped near former Timberwolves’ coach Tom Thibodeau.

Glue Girl Part II?

Why it matters: A few years ago when the Timberwolves were in the NBA’s Play-In Tournament, a woman went onto the floor at the baseline and tried to glue her wrist to the court. She earned the nickname “Glue Girl” and was quickly arrested. She was part of a group protesting a mass killing of chickens at an Iowa farm owned by Glen Taylor. In the game after the “Glue Girl” incident at Target Center, someone sitting directly behind Taylor and his wife, Becky, tried to run on the floor during play and was taken out by Timberwolves’s security.

What we don’t know: What led the two women to storm the court Thursday night.

Were they protesting the Timberwolves’ play?

The Timberwolves got out-scored 41-18 in the second quarter and trailed 73-51 at half. Towns had 22 points, 12 rebounds and four assists at the break.

A man has been sentenced to prison after a homicide in north Minneapolis earlier this year.

On Thursday, Marvin Dancy, 46, was sentenced to over 13 years (166 months) in prison for a shooting that killed 21-year-old Wence Edwards.

In November, Dancy pleaded guilty to second-degree unintentional murder and a separate count of illegal firearm possession was dismissed.

As previously reported, Minneapolis police responded to a shooting on Feb. 6 at the Handy Stop convenience store on the 2600 block of Broadway Avenue West.

Officers at the scene found a man, later identified as Edwards, in the alley behind the gas station with a life-threatening gunshot wound. Edwards died at the scene, MPD officials said.

“Mr. Dancy is being held accountable for his actions,” said Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty. “Our thoughts are with Mr. Edwards’ family as they grieve their immense loss.”

The northern tier is receiving a winter wallop from a fast-moving Alberta clipper. For Minneapolis-Saint Paul, this is the heaviest snow since March, and it’s causing some holiday travel headaches. You can see conditions deteriorating in Saint Paul in the video above.

Alberta clippers are systems known for bringing snow and wind to the northern tier, and you can see one right now on the WeatherRadar. This combination of wind and snow is reducing visibility and causing treacherous travel conditions from North Dakota to Illinois this morning. Widespread 2-4″ of snowfall are possible, but snow totals upwards of 6 inches are possible in some spots.

Slick roads will impact travel throughout the day. The WindRadar also shows wind gusts upwards of 40 mph on the backside of this system, meaning low visibilities will remain a significant issue even after the snow ends. Today, travel trouble can be expected in cities like Bismarck, N.D., Minneapolis, Green Bay and Milwaukee, Wis.

The Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport is a major hub for air travel, and there has already been a ground stop this morning. Flight delays and cancellations in and out of this major airport are possible, so if you are traveling by air, check with your airline before heading to the airport.

The TemperatureRadar also shows much colder air moving in behind this clipper and lingering into the weekend. Check in with the Weather & Radar app often for the latest conditions in your neck of the woods.
