Ryan Saunders hasn’t had the luxury of taking it easy in the final minute, or the finals seconds for that matter, in any of his first three games to start his tenure as Timberwolves interim head coach.
But he’s done quite well in those games and led the Wolves to a huge 110-106 win at Target Center over the Pelicans on Saturday night. It was Saunders’ first win at home. He moved to 2-1 overall.
Considering this was on the second night of a back-to-back (the Wolves lost a thriller to the Mavericks on Friday night), it makes it all that more impressive.
