"We have to figure out this team soon because the season is going to be over before we know," Rubio said after the Wolves sixth straight home loss to start the season.
MINNEAPOLIS – Sam Mitchell talked about playing with a sense of urgency before the game.
"We should be ticked off," he said. "It should be a concern that we haven't played well enough to win a game at home considering that we've beat some good teams on the road."
With that in mind, as the Wolves took the Target Center hardwood for their sixth home game of the season, searching to give hometown fans the showing they've been yearning for, they came out strong with what appeared to be the sense of urgency Mitchell was looking for.
