A day after the Timberwolves' Kevin Garnett hit Nuggets center Francisco Elson in the groin during Game 4 of the series Tuesday night, Elson took a personal shot back at the Minnesota superstar.
"That's a cheap shot by a low-class type player," Elson said of the contact, which took place in front of the Nuggets' bench late in the first quarter of Minnesota's 84-82 victory, according to Elson and teammates. "You don't do that. That's gay on his part. I told him that he was gay, too, for touching me in my private parts."
