After Monday’s practice, Timberwolves guard Tyus Jones was asked about what this final stretch of the team’s regular season could have meant if the team was still in the playoff mix.
Seven of nine at Target Center, games with the likes of the Los Angeles Clippers, Golden State, Philadelphia and Portland.
“For sure it would have made it fun, much more interesting,” Jones said. “But at the same time we’re approaching it trying to win every game.”
The Wolves have been eliminated from the playoffs. Saunders, hoping to put himself in position to remove the interim from his head coaching title, has pushed the players he has available.
