From Skeets at Ball Don’t Lie: Inside every mascot is a frontier waiting to be discovered …
Don Seeholzer/Pioneer Press on last night’s loss to the Spurs.
Coming off such a tough loss, guard Sebastian Telfair said a lot of players had their heads down at the start of today’s practice but that things picked up as it went on.
Hey, at least the game was the lead story on SportsCenter, right?
“I bet we were,” Wittman said.
After a heartbreaking 129-125 double overtime loss to the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night at the Target Center, the Wolves were back in the practice facility Thursday preparing for a five day, three game west coast road trip.
Today Coach Wittman took the glass half full approach to last night’s loss saying, “You have to, we did a lot of good things. Offensively that was as good as we played this year, in terms of everything; sharing the ball, (we had) 35 assists, taking care of the ball, (only) 10 turnovers. We did a lot of good things; our energy was high the whole night I thought. We made 12-14 just great hustle plays.”
The Wolves are flying out this afternoon to Sacramento and the start of a three-game Western trip after working out at Target Center this morning. With Randy Wittman looking for better starts, I’d bet he’ll give Kevin Love his first career start and maybe he’ll put Sebastian Telfair out there in Randy Foye’s place as well.
“It’s early,” Wittman said Thursday, “but I’m seriously looking at different things. I think that’s going to be important for us.”
