SAN ANTONIO – The Timberwolves were down 17 in the second quarter to the Eastern Conference-leading Heat, Karl-Anthony Towns was in foul trouble and they had just blown a double-digit lead the night before to the rebuilding Magic.
Last season and in years past, the Wolves lose Saturday's game. Maybe they make some sort of charge, but they never string enough stops together to pose a serious threat to the Heat.
That team is gone.
"I said to the guys on the bench, let's just get to the halftime where we can regroup because I think the solutions are there to be seen," coach Chris Finch said.
