The Minnesota Timberwolves star Karl-Anthony Towns was not interested in an explanation of why his offensive numbers are stagnating in recent times.

Last night Minnesota wasted a massive 26-point lead in a 104-95 Game 3 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies.

After Memphis took a 2-1 series lead over Minnesota, Towns was asked about attempting just four shots in Game 3.

"Next question," he responded to the reporter, while finishing the game with 8 points, 5 rebounds, 5 blocks, 1 assist, 4 turnovers, and 5 fouls. "Go home, drink some wine and move on to the next day."

Charles Barkley could not believe how Towns teated the media post-game.

"I can't believe his answers. Next question? Dude, this is like two times in the last week in playoff situations you get more fouls than points and rebounds and your answer is 'next question' and 'I'm just gonna go drink some wine.' That's bogus, man. That's total BS," said Barkley.

"Dude, you were the No. 1 pick in the draft," the 11-time All-Star continued. "You're supposed to be a franchise player. You gotta play better, man. There's never an excuse, never, for a guy who's an All-Star to get 6 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 fouls in a two-week period in must-win situations."

Barkley also minced no words regarding head coach Chris Finch's decisions. According to the former NBA player, he lost match control by not taking a timeout when needed.

"I picked Minnesota to win this series because they got talent, but they got no brains whatsoever. They got a coach who last game let his two best players get four fouls in the first half. And tonight he let a 21-0 run, a 21-zip run in a playoff game, and did not call a timeout. They scored 21 straight points and this dude did not call one single a timeout. It's just embarrassing."
