Butler: Timberwolves 'D' must improve or else

PHOENIX -- Minnesota Timberwolves All-Star Jimmy Butler spoke some hard truths about the present and potential future of his team after a disappointing 118-110 loss to the Phoenix Suns on Saturday night.

"Offense will never be the problem all year long," Butler said. "All you're always going to hear about from us, from everybody else, is we're not playing any defense. That is our biggest letdown right now. And until we fix it, a lot of outcomes are going to be like this one."

The Timberwolves's defensive issues have been prevalent throughout the season.
