The Minnesota Timberwolves are going through their first slump of the current season. For the first time since the season began, they added two consecutive losses, last week against the Knicks and Pelicans, and they have suffered three setbacks in the last four games, the most recent this Sunday against the Dallas Mavericks.
The team led by Chris Finch has not been able to capture the outstanding defense that has characterized its course this year in these four games. In fact, they have registered a defensive ratio of 114.0 points, well above the 108.7 they compiled overall for the season and which leads the NBA.
To prevent this situation from spreading for more games, Finch has organized several video sessions with the squad in recent days to correct errors and for them to see the defensive level they have been able to achieve this season. A measure that the players have appreciated.
“It has been well. “We’ve been able to look at it and say, ‘OK, that’s fun,'” Rudy Gobert told the outlet. The Star Tribune. «When we play like this we look very good. That’s the team we want to be. “That’s the team that people fear.”

The Timberwolves will have the opportunity to regain sensations in the demanding ‘back-to-back’ They will face this Tuesday and Wednesday against the Orlando Magic and the Boston Celtics. Those from Minnesota remain at the top of the Western Conference, but with only half a game ahead of the Denver Nuggets.
