There are five games left on the Timberwolves schedule, and seemingly little reason for motivation.
But Wolves interim coach Sam Mitchell said after Monday’s practice he sees this as an important stretch.
“I told them a couple of days ago it’s not how you start, it’s how you finish,” Mitchell said. “Everybody thinks when you say that it’s about finishing first. It’s about finishing with class, dignity, professionalism, caring, playing as hard as you can for as long as you can until that horn blows. That’s a sign of character.”
