Timberwolves' Jimmy Butler, down 0-2 to Rockets: `I'm smiling, everybody's OK.'

The Timberwolves shot this morning at Target Center -- Houston didn't shoot -- before Game 3 tonight and Jimmy Butler was asked about the mood of a team that's trailing the best-of-seven series 0-2.

"We're still playing for something," Butler said. "Hell, it's the first one to four games. We're only down 0-2. So I'm smiling, everybody's OK. I got to tell everybody, don't pay attention to what everybody says. You pay attention to what goes on in there with those guys who are with you every single day. We'll be OK."

Butler echoed some of what Jeff Teague said Friday, that the Wolves need to play faster.
