2013-14 Minnesota Timberwolves Season Review - 4

FLIP SAUNDERS President of Basketball Operations/Minority Owner

Phil "Flip" Saunders returned to the Minnesota Timberwolves on May 3, 2013, as the team's President of Basketball

Operations. Saunders was originally with the Wolves from 1995-2005 and guided the team during its most successful years,

highlighted by a trip to the 2004 Western Conference Finals. Saunders, who has more than 20 years of professional

basketball experience, is responsible for all decisions made within the Timberwolves basketball operations department.

Saunders also is a Timberwolves minority owner.

Prior to re-joining the Timberwolves, Saunders worked for ESPN as a basketball analyst for two seasons. He was named the

Washington Wizards head coach on April 22, 2009 and remained with the Wizards into the 2011-12 season.

In two decades of coaching at the professional level, including 15-plus seasons in the NBA, Saunders has cemented his

reputation as one of the finest coaches in the game of basketball. With a record of 638-526, he ranks 20th on the NBA all-

time coaching wins chart, and his .548 winning percentage is 11th among all NBA coaches who have coached more than

1,110 games. Saunders has seven 50-win seasons to his credit as an NBA head coach, with four Conference Finals

appearances in 11 postseason appearances.

Saunders joined the Wizards after leading the Detroit Pistons to a 176-70 (.715) record from 2005-08, the highest winning

percentage of any coach in their franchise history. In 2007-08, the third of Saunders’ three seasons with the Pistons, he

guided Detroit to their third consecutive Central Division crown with a 59-23 regular season record (the second-best record in

the Eastern Conference). Saunders recorded his 500th win as an NBA head coach during the 2006-07 campaign, becoming

just the 26th coach in NBA history at the time to reach that mark. Saunders’ first season in Detroit in 2005- 06 included a

record of 24-3 after 27 games, making him just the second coach in NBA history to start a season 24-3 in his first year as

head coach of a new team (Bill Sharman led the Lakers to a 39-3 start in 1971-72). He became the only coach in NBA history

to win Eastern Conference Coach of the Month honors for three consecutive months (November ‘05, December ‘05, January

‘06), and he helmed the Eastern Conference All-Star team in Houston in 2006 (as one of only six coaches in NBA history to be

named head coach of the All-Star team in both the Eastern and Western Conferences). During that season, Detroit tied a

franchise record for most home victories (37), and set a franchise record for road wins (27). In three seasons in Detroit,

Saunders’ Pistons finished with the best record in the Eastern Conference twice (2005-06, 2006-07), and ranked in the top

three of the NBA in points per game allowed each season (including a first place finish in 2007-08), showing that Saunders is

equally adept at defensive scheming as he is on the offensive end.

Prior to joining Detroit, Saunders spent nine-plus years with the Minnesota Timberwolves (1995- 2005), where he guided the

club to eight consecutive playoff appearances and a Western Conference-best and franchise-best 58-24 record in 2003-04 -- a

season that culminated in a berth in the Western Conference Finals. During his tenure in Minnesota, he won NBA Western

Conference Coach of the Month honors four times (April ’04, February ’03, January ’01, January ’00) and coached the

Western Conference during the 2004 NBA All-Star Game in Los Angeles. Saunders’ time with Timberwolves represented the

best years in the franchise’s history, and placed him as the organization’s all-time winningest coach. He posted a winning

record in six of his nine full seasons as head coach, compiling an overall record of 411-326 (.558).

Saunders’ impressive coaching resume also includes seven consecutive seasons of 30 or more victories in the CBA, two CBA

Championships (‘90, ‘92), a pair of CBA Coach of the Year honors (‘90, ‘92) and 23 CBA-to-NBA player promotions. He ranks

third all-time in the CBA with 253 career victories (253-137, .649) during stops with the Rapid City Thrillers (1988-89), La

Crosse Catbirds (1989-94) and Sioux Falls Skyforce (1994-95). In September 2001, Saunders guided the United States

men’s basketball team to a perfect 5-0 record and a gold medal at the Goodwill Games in Brisbane, Australia.

The Cleveland, Ohio, native began his successful coaching career at Golden Valley Lutheran College, where he compiled a 92-

13 record (including a perfect 56-0 mark at home) in four seasons. In 1981, he joined the coaching staff at his alma matter,

the University of Minnesota, as an assistant coach where he helped the Golden Gophers to the 1982 Big Ten Championship.

After five seasons at Minnesota, Saunders moved to an assistant coach position at the University of Tulsa, where he worked

for two seasons before heading to the pro ranks.

Saunders, 58, was an All-America basketball player at Cuyahoga Heights High School in Cleveland. During his senior season

in 1973, he was named Ohio’s Class A High School Basketball Player of the Year after averaging a state-high 32.0 points per

game. He continued his basketball career at Minnesota, where he teamed with Kevin McHale and started in 101 of his 103

career games.

Saunders was born February 23, 1955, in Cleveland, Ohio. He and his wife, Debbie, have four children: Ryan, Mindy and

twins, Rachel and Kimberly.

MILT NEWTON General Manager

Milt Newton completed his first season as the Timberwolves' General Manager. In his position, Newton assists Flip Saunders

in the evaluation and acquisition of players and in the overall management of all basketball operations for the Wolves. Newton

spent the last 10 seasons with the Washington Wizards, most recently as the team's vice president of player personnel.

Prior to joining the Wizards organization, Newton was instrumental in spearheading the creation of the NBA Developmental

League, serving as the NBADL Director of Player Personnel for three years. Newton previously spent one year as a scout with

the Philadelphia 76ers and was also the Assistant Director for the USA Basketball Men’s National Team programs from 1995-

99.

Newton had a stellar playing career, first as a high school star in Washington, D.C., and then as a starter for the 1988

University of Kansas NCAA National Championship team. He was named to the 1988 NCAA Midwest Regional and Final Four

All-Tournament teams. Newton played professionally in the Continental Basketball Association for the Rockford Lightning and

Grand Rapids Hoops.

Born in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, Newton and his wife, Shalaun have two children, Shaniya Adell (10), and Miles Kenneth

(6).

2013-14 Minnesota Timberwolves Season Review - 6

RICK ADELMAN

Head Coach

Rick Adelman completed his third season as the head coach of the Timberwolves. Adelman was named the 10th head coach

in Minnesota Timberwolves history on Sept. 28, 2011.

Adelman previously served as head coach of four NBA teams: Portland (1988-94), Golden State (1995-97), Sacramento

(1998-2006) and Houston (2007-11). Some of his coaching highlights include: two NBA Finals appearances (1990 and 1992

with Portland), four Western Conference Finals (1989-90, 1990-91 and 1991-92 with Portland and 2001-02 with Sacramento)

and four division titles (1990-91 and 1991-92 with Portland; 2001-02 and 2002-03 with Sacramento).

Last season Adelman became the eighth NBA head coach to record 1,000 career victories; currently Adelman stands as the

only active member of the 1,000-win club. By reaching the milestone in his 1703rd NBA game, Adelman became the fifth-

fastest NBA head coach to win 1,000 NBA games. Adelman's all-time coaching record stands at 1002-707 (.586).

Adelman's teams have reached the NBA playoffs in 16 of his 22 seasons as a head coach, and he holds an all-time playoff

record of 79-78 (.503 winning percentage). He is one of only five head coaches in NBA history to win 60+ games in a season

with two different teams (Portland and Sacramento). Adelman has been runner-up for the NBA Coach of the Year award four

times. Before joining the Timberwolves, Adelman was the head coach of the Houston Rockets the prior four seasons, leading

Houston to a 193-135 record. His .588 winning percentage was the highest in franchise history.

Adelman’s trademark offenses have finished among the top five in the NBA in scoring on 13 occasions over his head coaching

career. He has had four additional teams rank in the top 10 in points per game. His teams have also shown a great balance

on the defensive end of the floor. Adelman has had seven squads finish in the top five in scoring defense.

Adelman began his coaching career at Chemeketa Community College in Salem, Oregon, where his teams amassed a 141-39

record over six seasons (1977-83). Chemeketa won or shared in three Oregon community college championships and one

regional title.

As a player, Adelman spent seven seasons in the NBA with the San Diego Rockets, Portland Trail Blazers, Chicago Bulls, New

Orleans Jazz and Kansas City-Omaha Kings. Selected by the Rockets in the seventh round (79th overall) of the 1968 NBA

Draft, the 6-2 guard averaged 6.7 points, 3.1 assists and 2.7 rebounds in two seasons as a reserve in San Diego. Adelman

was taken by Portland in the 1970 NBA Expansion Draft and was made the first team captain in Trail Blazers history. Traded

by the Trail Blazers to the Bulls prior to the 1973-74 campaign, Adelman was again dealt to the Jazz early in the 1974-75

season. Looking for veteran leadership in their run to the 1975 NBA Playoffs, the Kings made a late-season acquisition to

obtain Adelman. He retired in 1975 with career averages of 7.7 points, 3.5 assists and 2.4 rebounds in 462 regular season

games.

Adelman began his playing career at St. Pius X High School in Downey, California, before attending Loyola Marymount

University in Los Angeles, where he was named MVP of the West Coast Athletic Conference as a senior in 1967-68.

A native of Lynwood, California, Adelman and his wife, Mary Kay, who have been married for more than 40 years, enjoy playing

golf and tennis, as well as spending time with their six children: Kathy and her husband, John, R.J., Laura and her husband,

Chris, David and his wife Jenny, Caitlin and her husband Jeff, and Patrick; and seven grandchildren: Mary Kay, Anna,

Mackenzie, Emilie, Madison, Zachary and Tyler.

2013-14 Minnesota Timberwolves Season Review - 7

TERRY PORTER Assistant Coach

Terry Porter completed his third season on Rick Adelman's staff with the Timberwolves. The pair reunited prior to the start of

the 2011-12 season in Minnesota after leading the Portland Trail Blazers to six consecutive playoff appearances and two trips

to the NBA Finals in the early 1990s. Porter's coaching career began as an assistant to Adelman with the Sacramento Kings

in 2002, and includes head coaching stints with the Milwaukee Bucks (2003-04 and 2004-05) and Phoenix Suns (2008-09).

Porter was also an assistant coach with the Detroit Pistons during the 2006-07 and 2007-08 seasons.

A Trail Blazer legend, Porter was selected with the 24th overall pick in the 1985 draft and spent his first 10 seasons in

Portland, including six with Adelman at the helm. Porter remains the franchise's all-time leader in assists and three-pointers

made, and ranks second in team history in points, free throws made, steals and minutes played. Porter was an instrumental

part of Portland's 1990 and 1992 Western Conference Champion squads and a two-time NBA All-Star.

Porter played with the Timberwolves from 1995 through 1998. The 6-3 guard also played one season in Miami and three with

San Antonio, finishing his career with averages of 12.2 points, 3.0 rebounds and 5.6 assists in 1,274 career games. Porter's

teams advanced to the playoffs in 16 of his 17 NBA seasons.

As a head coach, Porter’s 2003-04 Bucks were the highest scoring team in the Eastern Conference while committing the

East’s fewest turnovers. Milwaukee earned a playoff berth that season before being defeated by the eventual NBA Champion

Detroit Pistons. The loss of point guard T.J. Ford for the entire 2004-05 season limited the club to a 30-52 in Porter’s second

season. In two seasons with the Bucks, Porter’s clubs went a combined 71-93 and were 50-32 at home. As the head coach in

Phoenix, Porter compiled a 28-23 record before the Suns made a midseason coaching change.

Porter received his degree in communications from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. In 1999, he was given the

university’s Distinguished Alumnus Award. Porter and his wife Suzie have three children: Brianna, Franklin and Malcolm.

JACK SIKMA Assistant Coach

Jack Sikma completed his third season with the Timberwolves after spending the previous four seasons on the Houston

Rockets' coaching staff under Rick Adelman. Sikma's coaching career began when he was named as a special assignments

coach for the Seattle SuperSonics prior to the 2003-04 season. The former Sonics center was promoted to assistant coach

following that campaign.

In 14 seasons as a player in the NBA, Sikma averaged 15.6 points and 9.8 rebounds in 1,107 games with Seattle and the

Milwaukee Bucks. A seven-time NBA All-Star, Sikma was also named to the 1977-78 NBA All-Rookie Team and earned 1981-

82 NBA All-Defense Second Team accolades.

A 6-foot-11 product of Illinois Wesleyan University, Sikma was selected by the Sonics with the eighth overall pick of the 1977

NBA Draft. Sikma became just the third Sonics player to grab 1,000 rebounds in a season when he pulled down 1,013 boards

in 1978-79. He used his tenacity on the glass to help carry Seattle into the playoffs, saving his best for the 1979 NBA Finals

against the Washington Bullets when he grabbed 17 rebounds in each of Games Three, Four and Five to help the Sonics

capture the league title.

When Sikma was traded to Milwaukee in 1986, he left the Sonics having registered more rebounds (7,729), blocked shots

(705) and free throws made (3,044) than any prior player in team history. He still holds the team’s career marks for rebounds

and free throws made, while ranking second in blocked shots, third in points (12,034) and fourth in games played (715).

Sikma retired from playing after the 1990-91 season and returned to the Seattle area. His jersey #43 was retired by the

franchise during a halftime ceremony of a Sonics vs. Detroit Pistons game on Nov. 21, 1992.

Born on Nov. 14, 1955, in Kankakee, Illinois, Sikma and his wife, Shawn, have three sons, Jacob, Lucas and Nathan.

2013-14 Minnesota Timberwolves Season Review - 8

T.R. DUNN Assistant Coach

A long-time assistant to Rick Adelman, Dunn finished his third season with the Timberwolves after spending the previous four

campaigns with the Houston Rockets. Dunn was also an assistant on the Sacramento Kings coaching staff from 2004 through

2007, with the first two of those three-seasons also being Adelman-led teams.

Prior to joining the Kings, Dunn spent two seasons (2002-04) as an assistant coach for the Denver Nuggets. In 2001-02,

Dunn worked as an assistant coach at his alma mater, the University of Alabama. Prior to that, he coached in the WNBA for

the Charlotte Sting, serving as head coach in 2000 and as an assistant coach during the 1999 season. Dunn also served a

prior stint as an assistant for the Nuggets in 1997-98 and was an assistant coach for the Charlotte Hornets from 1991-97.

During his 14-year NBA playing career, Dunn was regarded as one of the premier defensive players of his time. He was named

to the NBA’s All-Defensive Second Team three times (1983-85) and was considered one of the top rebounding guards in the

NBA throughout his career. He missed just six games due to injury over a 10-year span (1978-88), finishing with career

averages of 5.1 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 993 regular season games. Drafted by Portland with the 41st overall

pick of the 1977 NBA Draft, Dunn spent his first three campaigns with the Trail Blazers before being traded to Denver. He also

played one season with the Phoenix Suns (1988-89) before returning to the Nuggets for his final two years.

In 10 seasons as a member of the Nuggets (1980-88 and 1989-91), Dunn scored 3,585 points and became a mainstay in

the franchise’s record books. He still ranks second all-time in steals (1,070), fourth in games played (734) and fifth in

minutes played (18,322). In the playoffs, Dunn recorded 238 career points for the Nuggets and tied for the most steals in a

single game (7 vs. Portland on 4/20/86). Dunn still ranks first in steals (83), second in games played (58), second in

offensive rebounds (119) and fifth in total rebounds (287) in Denver’s postseason history.

A four-year letterman at Alabama from 1973-77, Dunn finished his collegiate career with a scoring average of 11.2 points per

game. Theodore Roosevelt Dunn and his wife, Cynthia, have two sons: Schmohn and Keenan.

DAVID ADELMAN Assistant Coach

David Adelman completed his third year with the Timberwolves and first as assistant coach. Adelman previously served as a

player development coach on his father, Rick Adelman's staff, in Minnesota. Prior to his stint with the Timberwolves, Adelman

spent the prior five seasons as head basketball coach at Lincoln High School in Portland, Ore.

Adelman went 83-53 in five seasons at Lincoln, leading the Cardinals to Portland Interscholastic district championships in the

2006-07, 2009-10 and 2010-11 seasons, while also reaching the Oregon Class 6A state championship final in 2009.

Prior to coaching at Lincoln, Adelman was an assistant coach at his alma mater, Jesuit High School in Portland, from 2001-

06, helping the team win a state title in 2005. As a player, Adelman helped Jesuit win a state championship in 1999.

Adelman, 32, attended the University of Portland before joining the Jesuit staff. He is in the process of finishing a degree in

history from Portland State. Adelman and his wife, Jenny, were married last summer and have one son: Leonard James.

BOBBY JACKSON Player Development Coach

Jackson returned to Minnesota this year after serving as assistant coach with the Sacramento Kings the past two seasons.

and a career-best 4.4 apg in 36.3 mpg… He's the first player to average 26/12/4 over a full season since the NBA/ABA merger; Kareem

Abdul-Jabbar and Bob McAdoo had most recently accomplished that feat in 1975-76… Shot 45.7% from the floor, 37.6% from three-point

range and 82.1% from the FT line, setting club single-season marks for treys made (190) and attempted (505), and free throws made (520)

and attempted (633)… Registered the first three triple-doubles of his career -- Feb. 22 at Utah (37 pts/12 reb/10 ast), Mar. 28 vs. the L.A.

Lakers (22/10/10) and Apr. 2 vs. Memphis (24/16/10) -- and led the Wolves across the board (pts/reb/ast) seven times… Had 33 points

30+ points on a franchise-record 25 occasions, including six games of 40 or more… Totaled 25+ pts/10+ reb in 11 straight outings from

Jan. 29-Feb. 25, the NBA's longest such run since Shaquille O'Neal put together 13 in a row in 2001… Named Western Conference Player

of the Week twice (Feb. 24, Nov. 4)… Started for the West in the 2014 NBA All-Star Game on Feb. 16 in New Orleans, tallying 13 points and

his right hand… Averaged 18.3 ppg, 14.0 rpg and 2.3 apg but posted career lows in FG accuracy (35.2%) and FT accuracy (70.4%); he also

slipped to 21.7% (20-for-92) from three-point range… Made his season debut Nov. 21 vs. Denver, totaling 34 points and 14 rebounds; he'd

underwent arthroscopic surgery to remove scar tissue on his left knee on Apr. 10… Led Minnesota with 28 points in the Dec. 20 win vs.

Oklahoma City, adding a season-high seven assists… Poured in a season-high 36 points Dec. 7 vs. Cleveland… Hauled in a season-high 24

rebounds Nov. 27 at Sacramento, including a career-best 21 defensive boards; he's just the third Timberwolves player to pull in 20+

defensive boards in a game, joining Kevin Garnett and Al Jefferson… 2011-12: Played in 55 games, sitting out the final seven after suffering

a concussion Apr. 11 at Denver… Earned Second Team All-NBA honors after ranking 4th in scoring (26.0 ppg), 2nd in rebounding (13.3 rpg)

and 2nd in minutes played (39.0 mpg); Kevin Garnett held the prior club single-season scoring mark at 24.2 ppg in 2003-04… Shot 44.8%

from the field, 37.2% (105-for-282) from long range and 82.4% from the FT line… Also led the NBA in point/rebound double-doubles (48)

and ranked 4th in FTs made (379) and 5th in FT attempts (460)… Totaled 40 points and 19 rebounds Mar. 28 at Charlotte, his third 40+

effort in March and his 10th 30-point/15-rebound night of the year; the rest of the league combined for nine such games… Poured in a club-

record 51 points Mar. 23 at Oklahoma City, breaking Garnett's mark of 47 (Jan. 4, 2005 vs. Phoenix); the seven treys were also a career

high… Had 42 points Mar. 3 at Portland, and followed up with a 39-point effort vs. the Clippers; he averaged a league-best 30.7 ppg

(46.4%) and 13.9 rpg in March… Tallied 17 points, seven rebounds and three steals for the West in the 2012 All-Star Game in Orlando; he

also won the Foot Locker Three-Point Contest… Hit the game-winning FTs with :00.1 left Feb. 19 vs. Philadelphia; he sank a three-pointer as

time expired to beat the L.A. Clippers on Jan. 20… Saw his run of double-doubles halted at 15 Jan. 21 at Utah, the NBA's longest streak to

2013-14 Minnesota Timberwolves Season Review - 45

RICKY RUBIO #9

SPAIN - GUARD - 6-4 - 185 - 3 YEARS 2013-14: Completed his third NBA season by becoming the 10th player in Wolves history to start all 82 games… Averaged 9.5 ppg, 4.2 rpg

and a career-best 8.6 rpg -- good for 4th in the NBA and the top single-season figure by a Minnesota player since Terrell Brandon dished 8.9

apg in 1999-2000… Also ranked 2nd in the league in steals (2.32 spg); his 190 total steals broke the franchise record previously held by

Tyrone Corbin (175 in 1989-90)… Shot 38.1% from the floor, 33.1% from three-point range and 80.2% from the FT line… Collected 15

point/assist double-doubles (boosting his career total to 40) and notched a pair of triple-doubles: Nov. 10 at the L.A. Lakers (12 pts/10

reb/14 ast) and Mar. 19 at Dallas (22/10/15)… Played a career-high 49:08 in that Dallas contest; the 10 rebounds equaled his season

high… Scored 20+ points four times and was Minnesota's leading scorer on three occasions; he led the Wolves across the board with 19

points, eight rebounds and five assists Feb. 5 at Oklahoma City… Tied the club single-game record by dishing 17 assists vs. Indiana on Feb.

19, joining six others (most recently Chauncey Billups vs. Dallas on Mar. 28, 2002)… Swiped a season-high seven steals Feb. 12 vs.

Denver, and tallied a career-high 25 points Feb. 8 vs. Portland… The Jan. 21 outing at Utah was the 12th 4x5 (11 pts/5 reb/13 ast/5 stl)

night of his career (third this season)… Dealt his 1000th career assist Dec. 30 vs. Dallas.

CAREER NOTES: Selected by Minnesota in the 1st round (5th overall) of the 2009 NBA Draft… 2012-13: Played in 57 games (47 starts)…

Made his first appearance Dec. 15 vs. Dallas; he'd been sidelined for the first 20 games while recovering from surgery to repair a torn ACL

and a torn LCL in his left knee… Averaged 10.7 ppg, 4.0 rpg and 7.3 apg while playing 29.7 mpg; he shot 36.0% from the floor, 29.3% from

three-point range and 79.9% from the line… Ranked 2nd in the NBA in steals (2.40 spg), breaking the previous franchise single-season

mark (2.17) set by Micheal Williams in 1992-93; he also finished 10th in assists… Tallied a game- and season-high 24 points Apr. 13 vs.

Phoenix, his third 20-point/10-assist outing in the season's final month… Added five rebounds and five steals in that game, making it his

sixth career 10+ point/10+ assist/5+ steal effort… Picked off eight steals Apr. 3 at Milwaukee, tying the franchise record shared by Tyrone

Corbin and Terrell Brandon; it also matched the NBA's single-game best for 2012-13 (Kemba Walker, Nov. 10)… The five three-pointers and

eight TOs at Milwaukee were both career highs; he sank 16 of his final 36 from beyond the arc (44.4%)… Tallied a game-high 23 points

Mar. 30 vs. Memphis, the second time he led the Wolves across the board (pts/reb/ast)… Collected his first career triple-double Mar. 12

vs. San Antonio, racking up 21 points, 12 assists and a career-high 13 rebounds… Swiped six steals Mar. 6 vs. Washington, capping a run

that saw him grab 43 steals in 10 contests, the most prolific 10-game stretch in the NBA since Ron Artest totaled 44 in 2002 (Jan. 19-

Feb.12)… Chipped in five points and 10 assists in the BBVA Rising Stars Challenge on Feb. 15… Dished a season-high 14 assists vs.

Portland on Feb. 4; he had 10 of the assists in the fourth quarter, matching a franchise record he shares with Stephon Marbury and Pooh

Richardson… 2011-12: Made his NBA debut by playing in 41 games before suffering a torn ACL and a torn LCL in his left knee on Mar. 9 vs.

the Lakers; he underwent reconstructive surgery on Mar. 21 and missed the Wolves' final 25 contests… Earned First Team All-Rookie

honors and finished 2nd to Kyrie Irving of Cleveland in voting for the NBA's Rookie of the Year Award, equaling the best-ever showing by a

Wolves player (Stephon Marbury, 1996-97)… Started 31 times, with Minnesota going 18-13; they slipped to 5-20 following the injury…

Averaged 10.6 ppg, 4.2 rpg and 2.22 spg in 34.2 mpg, while leading all rookies (and ranking 6th in the NBA) in assists with 8.2 apg… Shot

10 assists in his final appearance (Mar. 9 vs. the Lakers), his 12th double-double on the year; it was the most by a Wolves player since

2013-14 TEAM NOTES

WOLF TRACKS: Minnesota ended 2013-14 with a 40-42 record, its best since finishing 44-38 in 2004-05; it's the fourth

straight season the Wolves have improved on their previous year's victory total, having posted a 31-51 mark a year ago…

Minnesota's season was highlighted by OT victories at Dallas (123-122 on Mar. 19) and Miami (122-121 in double-OT on Apr.

4), as well as a late win at Golden State (121-120 on Jan. 24)… The Wolves finished 16-25 away from Target Center, their

highest road victory total since going 20-21 in 2004-05… Minnesota has now missed the postseason in 10 straight seasons,

after advancing to the playoffs every year from 1996-97 through 2003-04 (eight)… The current absence is the longest active

postseason drought; Sacramento (eight) and Detroit (five) are next on that list… Minnesota's entire 2013-14 campaign was

spent within four games of the .500 mark; they opened the season with three straight wins and were at 7-4 later in November,

while the low-water mark came at 24-28 on Feb. 10… The Wolves put together three-game winning streaks on four occasions

(Oct. 30-Nov. 3, Jan. 18-24, Feb. 12-22, Feb. 25-Mar. 3) with one four-game skid (Feb. 5-10)… Minnesota finished April with a

4-5 mark, but the four victories were against teams (Memphis, Miami, San Antonio, Houston) with a combined record of 220-

108 (.671)… The Apr. 4 victory at Miami was the 800th in club history, while the Apr. 13 game at Sacramento marked the

Wolves' 2000th regular-season contest… Minnesota capped a 4-1 West Coast swing with the 132-128 win at Denver on Mar.

3; it's the sixth time in franchise history they've won four games on a single trip, the first since December 2005…

MARGINAL INFORMATION: Minnesota recorded its franchise-record 12th 20-point victory with the Mar. 28 decision vs. Los

Angeles; the Wolves also built leads of 30+ points in 13 of their 82 games, the top single-season total in the NBA since Utah

had 14 such games in 1996-97… The 23-point defeat Mar. 20 at Houston represented the Wolves' largest of the season; they

lost by 21 vs. Miami on Dec. 7… Minnesota's 88 points vs. New Orleans on Jan. 29 were the fewest they've scored in a

victory this year and marked just the second time they've won in the past 30 when tallying fewer than 90… The Wolves

claimed a 121-120 victory at Golden State on Jan. 24 -- their first this season in a game decided by four points or less,

snapping a 14-game losing streak in that category; they finished 6-13 when the final margin was four or less, including 5-1

since Mar. 1… The Wolves won just three times this year when being held below 100 points (3-20 overall); the 98-72 victory

over Utah on Jan. 18 halted an 18-game losing streak that dated to March 2013…

SCHEDULE NOTES: Minnesota dropped 10 of its final 16 starts (beginning with the Mar. 20 loss at Houston), after enjoying a

six-week stretch at 10-4 that was highlighted by victories over Indiana (Feb. 19) and Dallas (Mar. 19)… The Wolves finished 4-

17 on the tail ends of back-to-back sets this year, ending with an 11-game losing streak in that category… Minnesota went 17-

13 vs. Eastern opponents, its first winning record against either conference since going 30-22 vs. the West in 2004-05… The

Feb. 8 game vs. Portland finished the second of two four-games-in-five-nights grinds for Minnesota (also Nov. 19-23)…

Starting with the Mar. 19 overtime win in Dallas, 12 of Minnesota's final 16 contests were against teams sporting winning

records… Minnesota drew an SRO 19,888 on Dec. 7 vs. Miami, its lone sellout of 2013-14; the next-largest announced crowd

was 18,065 vs. Oklahoma City on Jan. 4…

2013-14 Minnesota Timberwolves Season Review - 58

2013-14 TEAM NOTES

ON TARGET: Minnesota demolished its previous single-season record for scoring (101.1 ppg in 1997-98) by averaging 106.9

ppg this year to rank 3rd in the NBA… The Wolves set club single-game records for points scored (143) and FG accuracy

(67.1%) in the Mar. 28 victory over the L.A. Lakers… On the other hand, Minnesota surrendered 136 points in the Apr. 16

finale vs. Utah, two nights after Golden State had tallied 130... They finished 26th in the NBA in scoring defense (allowing

104.3 ppg) and 29th in defensive FG pct (47.1%)… The Wolves topped 50% on 11 occasions, with the Apr. 14 loss to Golden

State just their second in that category in the past two seasons (22-2)… Meanwhile, including Atlanta's 37.8% effort on Mar.

26, Minnesota has won its last 21 starts when holding the opponent below 40%… The Wolves limited Utah to 28.8% accuracy

on Jan. 18, their best defensive percentage ever; on the flipside, Minnesota finished at 29.3% in the Dec. 7 loss to Miami, the

lowest single-game percentage in club history…

THREES & FREES: The Wolves' 52-for-64 effort Mar. 3 at Denver shattered the franchise single-game records for FTs made

and attempted… Minnesota ended 3rd by averaging 28.1 FTAs per night; they were also 2nd in the NBA in FTs made per game

(21.8), 9th in FT accuracy (77.8%) and 2nd in fouls drawn (23.6 per game)… At the other end, Minnesota's opponents

attempted just 20.1 FTs per night, the fewest in the NBA this season… The Wolves went 16-for-26 from three-point range Jan.

6 at Philadelphia, a season high for makes; they reached double digits 18 times, going 13-5 in those… Meanwhile, the 1-for-

14 effort Apr. 5 at Orlando was a season low; they closed at 32.0% (66-for-206) over the last 11 games… The Wolves ranked

17th in three-pointers made (7.3 per game) but 26th in three-point accuracy (34.1%)… For the season, Minnesota set club

records for three-pointers made (600) and attempted (1757)…

THE BOARD REPORT: Minnesota outrebounded the Lakers 49-26 on Mar. 28, their largest margin of the season and one of

eight double-digit advantages overall; they enjoyed a 52-37 cushion vs. San Antonio on Apr. 8… On the flipside, Charlotte

posted a 54-35 edge on Mar. 14, the largest margin the Wolves faced this year; they came up short in 26 of their final 40

contests… That stretch began with a 50-40 deficit at Portland on Jan. 25; before that, Minnesota had been outboarded in just

11 of its first 42 outings… Oklahoma City posted a 45-40 edge on Jan. 4, the first time Minnesota had fallen short at home

since Nov. 6 vs. Golden State… The Wolves ranked 10th in total rebound percentage (.509), 7th in offensive rebound

percentage (.274) and 16th in defensive rebound percentage (.744)… They compiled a +0.5 rpg advantage for the year (44.7-

44.2), but were outboarded by -3.6 rpg (42.2-45.8) over the last 22 contests…

THIEVERY CORPORATION: Minnesota tallied 30 points off 23 Orlando TOs on Apr. 5, the sixth time they scored 30+ (season

best was 37 at Houston on Nov. 23)… Atlanta's 26 TOs on Mar. 26 equaled the most Minnesota has forced in 2013-14 (one

of 21 times they generated 20+)…The season-high 17-steal effort vs. Atlanta was one of 30 times the Wolves reached double

digits, their top total since also posting 30 such games in 2000-01… Ricky Rubio (190) and Corey Brewer (150) combined for

340 steals, the most-prolific duo in the NBA this year (Thaddeus Young/Michael Carter-Williams finished 2nd with 297)… The

Wolves committed a season-low five TOs Dec. 27 vs. Washington; however, they averaged 16.5 TOs in their final 13 games,

after coughing it up just 11.3 times per contest in the previous 10… Minnesota ranked 8th in the NBA in fewest TOs (13.9 per

game), 3rd in steals (8.76 spg) and 3rd in TOs forced (16.4)…
