Coach's Thoughts:

"I think we are slowly getting the rhythm of our team back after tonight's win. It feels good to be on the board now, and we will have to build up from this. Look for more things to come in the future. Who knows, you and everyone else might be in for a surprise."


Prepare for game 3 when the T'Wolves face the Detroit Pistons next...
