Riled Garnett rises to Mitchell's defense

LOS ANGELES – Ten days later, Timberwolves star Kevin Garnett had something to say on Tuesday and he made sure he said it.

Without prompting, Garnett approached media members after the team’s morning shootaround in Los Angeles to express support for interim head coach and former teammate Sam Mitchell and the direction the 14-35 Wolves are headed.

“I feel real good about the progression of this team since Day 1 and I think it needs to be said and needs to be understood that I’m endorsing Sam Mitchell and our coaching staff and this organization,” he said.
