A picture of Prince striking a Purple Rain pose courtside at Friday's Minnesota Timberwolves game in Canada was picked as Friday's "Photo of The Day" on NBA.com's homepage. The caption read: When the Wolves Cry: Prince, a Minneapolis native, watched his hometown Timberwolves lose a close one in Toronto on Friday. Doubt the pic will be there for long. I realize it's not news, but for those who care for such things...
