The Wolves are a different team than they were a few weeks ago, and they’re still getting used to that.

That work is going well, but as with anything, it takes time.
“Every year you go into the season and you look at your team and analyze what your strengths and weaknesses are and you try to play to those strengths and cover up your weaknesses,” said coach Tom Thibodeau.
