The Minnesota Timberwolves had a new coach for the fourth consecutive year. It was Tom Thibodeau who came in with his haunting defense and fiery passion. Thibs looked to change the culture of the Timberwolves.
The Wolves overall did not get off to a hot start to begin the year. They were still trying to find themselves halfway through the year.
They had to really buy into his defense as it is one of the toughest yet most successful in the league.
Thibs started rough at 8-19, but it all seemed to turn around in the game against Thibs old team.
